Abstract
Further clarification of the relationships between the assessment/ discovery paradigm and the realism/anti-realism dispute in the limit of scientific inquiry is possible to accomplish through conditions for knowledge transmissibility: Under what circumstances can a discovery method, δ, transfer its knowledge of a hypothesis to another method, γ, when γ is equipped only with knowledge of δ’s knowledge of the particular hypothesis in question (Figure 15.1)?
