What is mosaic merge? How should it be defined?
Mosaic merge is one of the key concepts in current scientonomy. Thus, its proper definition is of great importance.
In the scientonomic context, this term was first used by Hakob Barseghyan in 2015. The term is currently accepted by Scientonomy community.
In Scientonomy, the accepted definition of the term is:
- A scientific change where two mosaics turn into one united mosaic.

Current View
In Scientonomy, the accepted definition of the term is Mosaic Merge (Barseghyan-2015).
Mosaic Merge (Barseghyan-2015) states: "A scientific change where two mosaics turn into one united mosaic."
According to Barseghyan (2015), for mosaics to merge, that is, to "turn into one united mosaic," there must first exist (at least) two distinct mosaics. This necessarily means that there are elements which are present in one mosaic but absent in the other. "To use the language of set theory," Barseghyan writes, "these are the elements that constitute the so-called symmetric difference of two mosaics [...] Therefore, in order for the two mosaics to merge into one, these elements should either be rejected in both or accepted in both, so that the differences between the two are resolved".1
