Changes

|Question=What is the status of '''questions''' ('''problems''', '''topics''') in the mosaic? Are questions (problems, topics) separate entities, or can they be reduced to theoriesontology of epistemic elements?

|Description={{#evt:service=youtube[[Question|id=hQE-PdeGNY0|alignment=right|urlargs=start=509|description=Nicholas Overgaard explains the topic|container=frame }} Questions/topics ]] are one of several key categories of our encyclopedia (along with theories and modifications). Are questions part of the process of scientific change, or are they merely a useful instrument for organizing scientonomic data? It seems apparent that the relevance of a question/topic may be different in different time periods and different mosaic. For instance, while the question of phlogiston's properties would be a legitimate research question in the mid-18th century, it is no longer legitimate in the contemporary chemistry. This seems to suggest that questions are not merely a useful instrument for storing and presenting scientonomic data, but are actually part of the process of scientific change. Thus, it is important to identify what status questions have in the mosaic, i.e. whether or not they are their own entities, or whether they are expressible through theories.
