derivationthe
derivationthe is a neologism used in discussions of theory-building to denote a proposed interdisciplinary framework for deriving complex theories from a small set of foundational assumptions. The term is not widely recognized in mainstream science and is primarily discussed in speculative, developmental, or fictional contexts. In such use, derivationthe emphasizes formal derivation, traceability of conclusions, and the hierarchical construction of knowledge.
Conceptually, derivationthe envisions a derivation process in which propositions emerge through stepwise applications of explicit rules
Practitioners imagine formal languages or computational environments in which derivations can be tested, compared, or rearranged
Relation to existing fields: derivationthe overlaps with the axiomatic method, proof theory, and theory construction in
