  • And surely we can only have assumptions about what constitutes a “good or bad work” of the relevant sub-class.

    The Assumption of Authority 2 Hal Duncan 2009

  • For example, in general relativity, the structure is that of a 4-dimensional Lorentzian manifold, the Einstein field equations select a sub-class of all the possible 4-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds, and the choice of boundary conditions or initial conditions selects a particular 4-dimensional Lorentzian manifold within that sub-class.

  • We can have assumptions about what constitutes a good or bad object of the sub-class CNovel, say, but even here we have problems.

  • Each theory in physics represents (a part of) the physical universe by a mathematical structure; the laws associated with that theory select a particular sub-class of models with that structure; and the application of a theory to explain or predict a particular empirical phenomenon requires the selection of a particular solution, i.e., a particular model.
