|Description=Barseghyan's formulation of the third law states that a [[Method|method]] becomes [[Employed Method Employment|employed]] only when it is deducible from other employed methods and accepted [[Theory|theories]] of the time.
According to this formulation, a method becomes employed when:
# it implements some abstract requirements of other employed methods.
In a nutshell, this suggests that [[Theory Acceptance|accepted theories]] shape the set of [[Employed Method Employment|implicit criteria employed]] in theory assessment.
In practice, the third law states that when a new phenomenon is discovered, this discovery produces an abstract requirement to take that discovery into account when testing relevant theories. This abstract requirement is then specified by a new employed method.
