Changes

The theory of scientific change did not include normative propositions until a resolution to the paradox of normative propositions proposed by [[Zoe Sebastien]] was accepted by the scientonomic community in 2017. The modifications consequently accepted included changing the definition of ''theory'' from "a set of propositions that attempt to describe something" to "a set of propositions".[[CiteRef::Sebastien (2016)]] This new definition of ''theory'' could include normative propositions and, as a result, methodologies.

|Current View=The paradox was resolved by [[Zoe Sebastien]] when she suggested a [[The Third Law (Sebastien-2016)|new formulation]] of the third law which made it clear that employed methods shouldn't follow from ''all'' accepted theories, but only from ''some''.[[CiteRef::Sebastien (2016)]]
