科学表征模式:从命题主义到向量主义

The Mode of Scientific Representation:From Propositionism to Vectorism

命题主义是传统科学理论的表征模式,它具有静态、过度简化、面向结果、模型固化等一系列特征。命题主义是模型驱动的科学发现模式的直接结果。当今大数据驱动显示出更广阔发展前景,与大数据驱动相应的科学表征模式是向量主义。向量主义既能容纳更多的因素,又能反映因素的变化过程和结果,在一定程度上克服了命题主义的局限性。

As a direct result of model-driven scientific discovery pattern,propositionalism is the representation mode of traditional scientific theory.It has a series of features,such as being static,oversimplified,result-oriented,model-solidified,etc.Today’s data-driven approach shows broader development prospects,and the corresponding model of scientific representation for data-driven approaches is Vectorism.It can accommodate more factors and reflect the changing process and results of factors,and help to overcome the limitations of propositionalism.
