M
Accept that the phenomenological claims of classical physics are still accepted as the best available descriptions of their respective observable phenomena. +
Accept the existence of method hierarchies and the new definition of ''method hierarchy'' as a set of methods where theories that satisfy the requirements of methods that are higher in the hierarchy are preferred to theories that satisfy the requirements of methods that are lower in the hierarchy. Also accept the question of ''conceptualizing method hierarchies''. +
Accept the new definition of ''epistemic agent'' as an agent capable of taking epistemic stances towards epistemic elements. +
Accept that there are two types of epistemic agents – individual and communal. Also accept the question of applicability of the laws of scientific change to individuals as a legitimate topic of scientonomic inquiry. +
Accept the definition of ''epistemic tool'', stating that a physical object or system is an epistemic tool for an epistemic agent, when there is a procedure by which the tool can provide an acceptable source of knowledge for answering some question under the employed method of that agent. +
Accept the definitions of ''authority delegation'', and its subtypes, that generalize the currently accepted definitions to apply to all epistemic agents, rather than only communities. +
Accept that the relationship of ''tool reliance'' can obtain between epistemic agents and epistemic tools. Also accept the definition of tool reliance, which states that an epistemic agent is said to rely on an epistemic tool when there is a procedure through which the tool can provide an acceptable source of knowledge for answering some question under the employed method of that agent. +
Accept the definitions of ''logical presupposition'' and ''epistemic presupposition''. +
Accept ''the law of question acceptance'' as a new scientonomic axiom, ''the question rejection theorem'', and a number of questions for future research. +
Accept the definition of ''error'', stating that an epistemic agent is said to commit an error if the agent accepts a theory that should not have been accepted given that agent’s employed method. +
Accept that the handling of scientific error, as defined by Machado-Marques and Patton, is compatible with ''the theory rejection theorem''. +
Accept that the phenomenon of ''element decay'' exists as a ''non-scientonomic'' phenomenon. +
Accept new definitions of ''subquestion'', ''core question'', ''core theory'', ''discipline'', ''delineating theory'', ''subdiscipline'', and ''discipline acceptance''. +
Accept a new model-theoretic definition of ''scientific mosaic'', according to which, a scientific mosaic is a model of all epistemic elements accepted or employed by the epistemic agent. +
Accept the new law of norm employment that fixes some of the issues of the current law of method employment and makes it applicable to norms of all types. +
Accept the findings concerning the acceptance and rejection of the existence of high mass-to-light ratios, flat rotation curves, and dark matter by the Western astronomy community. +
Accept new formulations of the first law for theories, norms, and questions that are in tune with the formulation of the first law. Also accept new formulations of the respective rejection theorems - theory rejection, norm rejection, and question rejection. +
Accept that the first law and its corollaries are tautologies. Also accept that the rejection theorems are tautologies. +
Accept that noun-adjective pairs within the RSC can be indicative of communal theory acceptance. +
Accept the definition of ''epistemic action'' as an action of an epistemic agent that involves an epistemic element. +
Accept that epistemic actions can be local or global. Also accept the definition of ''global epistemic action'' as an epistemic action that is available to all epistemic agents trans-historically and universally and the definition of ''local epistemic action'' as an epistemic action that is not available trans-historically to all epistemic agents, but is specific to some time periods or some agents. +
Accept that the a local action ''A'' is said to be available to an epistemic agent ''iff'' that agent employs the norm “''A'' is permissible/desirable”. Also accept the theorem of local action availability as a deductive consequence of this definition and the law of norm employment: a local epistemic action becomes available to an agent only when its permissibility/desirability is derivable from a non-empty subset of other elements of the agent’s mosaic. +
Accept the findings concerning the discipline dynamics of alchemy and its core questions in the Western European chymistry community. +
Accept that the phenomenon of ''element decay'' exists. +
Accept a list of necessary indicators of ''theory decay''. +
Accept that element decay is a non-scientonomic phenomenon. +
