If There Are Four Equations And Only Three Variables, And No One Of The Equations Is Derivable From The Others By Algebraic Manipulation Then There Is Another Variable Missing.

It Is That Of Increasing Knowledge Of Empirical Fact, Intimately Combined With Changing Interpretations Of This Body Of Fact - Hence Changing General Statements About It - And, Not Least, A Changing A Structure Of The Theoretical System.

Science Is Intimately Integrated With The Whole Social Structure And Cultural Tradition. They Mutually Support One Other-only In Certain Types Of Society Can Science Flourish, And Conversely Without A Continuous And Healthy Development And Application Of Science Such A Society Cannot Function Properly.

A Theoretical System Does Not Merely State Facts Which Have Been Observed And That Logically Deducible Relations To Other Facts Which Have Also Been Observed.

Empirical Interest Will Be In The Facts So Far As They Are Relevant To The Solution Of These Problems.
