1. Outcome: Inconclusive ≡ Outcome: Not Satisfied ≡
It is unclear whether or not the requirements of the method employed at the time are met.
Outcome: Not Satisfied ≡
The theory is deemed to conclusively not meet the requirements of the method employed at the time.
Outcome: Satisfied ≡
The theory is deemed to conclusively meet the requirements of the method employed at the time.

The causal relations between assessment outcomes and theory acceptance/unacceptance are not specified by the current second law. ?

4. 2nd Law: Theory Acceptance
If a theory satisfies the acceptance criteria of the method employed at the time, it becomes accepted into the mosaic; if it does not, it remains unaccepted; if assessment is inconclusive, the theory can be accepted or not accepted.

5. Theory Acceptance/Unacceptance

The new second law specifies the causal relationships between assessment outcomes and theory acceptance/unacceptance.
Among other things, it shows that if the assessment outcome is inconclusive any one of the three scenarios is a possibility.

6. Theory Acceptance/Unacceptance

The new second law forbids the following four logical possibilities:
Satisfied → Unacceptance
Satisfied → Mosaic Split
Not Satisfied → Acceptance
Not Satisfied → Mosaic Split
