The Law of Theory Demarcation If a theory satisfies the demarcation criteria of the method employed at the time, it becomes scientific; if it does not, it remains unscientific; if assessment is inconclusive, the theory’s status can become scientific, unscientific, or uncertain. The Law of Theory Demarcation

  Theory Demarcation Assessment Outcomes Satisfied Not Satisfied Inconclusive Scientific Unscientific Uncertain

  Theory Demarcation Assessment Outcomes Satisfied Not Satisfied The new demarcation law forbids the following four logical possibilities: Satisfied → Unscientific Satisfied → Uncertain Not Satisfied → Scientific Not Satisfied → Uncertain Inconclusive Scientific Unscientific Uncertain
