Theories
The following table contains all the theories formulated by Harder:
Title | Type | Formulation | Formulated In |
---|---|---|---|

Compatibility Exists | Descriptive | There is such a thing as compatibility. | 2015 |
Questions
Here are all the questions formulated by Harder:
- Associations of Compatibility: How is the class of compatibility associated with other classes (and itself)? What aggregation, composition, or other association relations can exist between instances of compatibility, as well as between compatibility and instances of other classes?
- Compatibility: What is compatibility? How should it be defined?
- Disjointness of Compatibility: What other classes is the class of compatibility disjoint with, i.e. classes that don't share any instances with compatibility?
- Existence of Compatibility: Does compatibility exist?
- Mechanism of Compatibility: Under what conditions can two elements coexist in the same mosaic?
- Subtypes of Compatibility: What are the subtypes of compatibility?
- Supertypes of Compatibility: What are the supertypes of compatibility?
- Tautological Status of The Second Law (Barseghyan-2015): Is Barseghyan's original second law a tautology?
