Patterns of Discovery
Abstract
An examination of the processes involved in theory-finding in science. Professor Hanson considers various examples from the history of physics in the light of elementary particle physics. This is a book for philosophers and scientists of every persuasion. Professor Hanson gives the scien tist an insight into the philo sophical and historical background of his work, and the non-specialist philosopher an unusually clear and discerning account of the nature of scientific discovery. $5.50

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
