Suggested Modifications

Here is a list of modifications concerning this topic:

Modification	Community	Date Suggested	Summary	Date Assessed	Verdict	Verdict Rationale
Sciento-2018-0011	Scientonomy	28 December 2018	Accept the three-fold distinction between explicit, explicable-implicit, and inexplicable.	1 September 2019	Accepted	The consensus on this modification emerged primarily off-line. It was agreed that "the modification should be accepted".c1 It was also agreed "that the three-fold distinction is to be accepted as it introduces a distinction between explicable-implicit and inexplicable and thus contributes to the clarity of discussions concerning implicit and explicit."c2

Current View

In Scientonomy, the accepted subtypes of Implicit are:

• Explicable-Implicit
• Inexplicable

Inexplicable Is a Subtype of Implicit (Mirkin-Barseghyan-2018) states: "Inexplicable is a subtype of Implicit, i.e. implicit is a supertype of inexplicable."

Barseghyan and Mirkin suggest that what is implicit may or may not be explicable.12

Explicable-Implicit Is a Subtype of Implicit (Mirkin-Barseghyan-2018) states: "Explicable-Implicit is a subtype of Implicit, i.e. implicit is a supertype of explicable-implicit."

According to Barseghyan and Mirkin, at least some implicit epistemic elements are explicable.12
