There are infinite possibilities to the theories that we can come up with. Some will have no value for the present situation other will have more promise. How do we determine if a theory will be useful or not? What way do we have to test them Again we have to produce theories that will produce theories and theories about testing theories.
What is a theory? a theory is a structure that explains and predicts Explains means tieing together systems or theories. What is the simplest theory One possibility is a name. Is a name a theory? Yes because when we name something we are detaching it from the environment. Once something has a name it can be manipulated in the way that any other name is A name is like a noun. It has properties once we give a name properties we are developing a theory about this thing we might even be learning about a class of things that have this property. We may make inferences about the environment that this thing came from. Like the statement The earth has dogs.
How complex can the name dog be? Any name can represent an infinitely complex thing. This is why we use theocepts to represent a thing. There is in any natural language a very large amount of inference that need to learned in order to use a language.
Why make things complicated with theocepts. In order to solve a problem we must understand it. When we do not really understand a situation we may just be putting a bandage over the problem rather than really solving it. With our limited knowledge we can never be certain that we are solving a problem or creating more with the solution. No matter what we do to solve a problem we can never be certain that it is the right solution no matter how obvious it seemed at the time. If we do nothing we can not be sure that this solution will solve our problems. So what do we do? If we do nothing it can be just as bad as if we do something. All we can do is make the best informed choice we can and we are not certain what the best informed choice is. We when we make a choice we are making a choice as to the theory we want to use. We use what we call our belief structure. But our belief structure is a processor of what we have learned and what we want to believe.
What epistemology encourages us to do is have many belief structures and processors of these beliefs structures. In fact it encourages us to have all beliefs structures and possible processors of these belief structures. But there are probably an infinite amount of belief structures, and we are only finite? How can we deal with infinity? We develop structures and processors that help organize and simply so that we can get a grasp of the infinite complexity. Finite structures can have the abilities to process infinities if properly constructed. This is the process of simplication. There is the duel process of simplication and complication analysis and synthesis. Synthesis is like simplication because it brings things together. It also has the property of producing many things that have never been made before an infinite amount in fact. On the other hand analysis breaks thing into little pieces finding complexity there. But with in analysis there is the process of finding regularity thus simplifying the process. By analyzing chemicals we found only a few elements we synthesize those elements into a complexity of chemicals.

What is the reduction theory of theocepts? Theocepts can be simplified. Some theocepts are the same for a particular purpose even if they are internally different. So since theocepts can be very complex they can be reduced to a simpler form that is easier to use. The simplest reduction is that of naming a theocept. it can then be used in many different ways with out an elaboration. there then can be all sorts of different elaboration of the theocept. All these elaboration can be included in the theocept. We can include in the theocept different ways to elaborate so that all the information does not have to be included in a theocept. An example of this would be a functional equation rather than an infinite number of paired numbers. This is a simplication. But if only certain of these numbers are used then a sequence of the paired numbers might be simpler than the equation. The point is that a theocept can be constructed in any way and then simplified in any way then manipulated in anyway. As we learn more and more we will use more and more kinds of theocepts.
There can be theocepts that can organize other theocept in ways that have certain purposes such as simplication or certain other types of organization. There are simple theocepts but then there are complex theocepts that are like computer programs. these computer programs can manipulate each other and can be used as functions are. We can pair programs like numbers ar paired so that we have functions whose outcome are programs and not numbers. we can pair any theocept in any process with other theocept no matter what the theocept is. The key is to simply the process where we have the theocept organized in some fashion. As numbers can be organized in a continuum. Then we can have defined processes with defined outcome as mathematics has with the process of addition. If we can
The box operator is the delineation of a concept or theory. It is represented by brackets in writing or the box. What the bracket represents is an infinitely dimensional matrix.There are also an infinite amount of compartments in this infinite dimensional matrix. In the middle of the matrix at point 0,0,... is located the matrix compartment that contains the name of the concept / theory or theocept. Each compartment in this epistemological matrix is call a compartrix. Each compartrix has a location defined in the same way as a point in N dimensional space. The information that is contained in each compartrix can be of any type. For example, it can be a name, number, theocept, written information, pictures, shapes, equations, algorithms, computer programs, etc. Many types of knowledge do not readily combine to form other knowledge.
There exists many types of theocepts. There are the simplest types that only hold a name. They are called nominal theocepts. Then there are theocepts that contain a finite amount of knowledge or compartrixes filled. They are called limited or finite theocepts.
Theocepts that contain in compartrixes other theocepts, are called recursive theocepts. If a theocept contains in one or more of its compartrixes itself, it is called a self recursive theocept. A self recursive theocept is an infinitely recursive theocept. Any theocept that contains a self recurive theocept is an infinitely recurive theocept.
A theocept that contains only numbers is called a numerical theocept or numeocept. A totally relational theocept is called a reocept-- a relational theoretical concept.
Theocepts that contain compartrixes that have integer indices are called natural indexed theocepts or natheocepts. If a theocept contain compartrixes with fractional indices is called a fractional indexed theocept or fratheocepts. A theocept with real indices it is called a real indices theocept or reatheocept. A theocept that has a system for the indices and is processed is called a system indices theocept or sytheocept. A pictorial pattern for the indices is called a patterned indices theocept or patheocept. A theocept that is indices by a concept other than the ones mentioned is called a contheocept.
A simple theocept is one that has in all pertaining compartrixes the same entity. A trivial theocept is also a simple theocept because only one compartrix has any entity the rest are blank and have no effect on any calculation. all single numbers are simple theocepts
The entity in a compartrix is an entrix
A theocept by itself makes a complete statement. Although maybe only a trivial one. Two theocepts tied together with an equivalent reocept forms an epistemological equation. A reocept is important in defining how each compartrix is modified. The reocept [+] has the make up such that each compartrix has a + relation in it. When it relates two numbers it acts like addition. When it relates two theocepts it breaks them down into compartrixes again.
This is an epistemological equation: [w] [=] [q] It is the simple reduction equation. It means that each entrix in the same position in [w] is equal to each entrix in that position in [q].
Theocepts can also contain information about maps of theocepts. This is like knowledge of knowledge. For example, an entrix can be an indices for a particular compartrix It can also contain the entire mapping of a theocept. What is a theocept mapping? It is the complete mapping of a theocept's contents and their placement. It can be contained within one or more compartrixes. A theocept with a mapping of itself is called a well defined theocept. the mapping can be either finite or infinite in structure and content. An infinite mapping can sometimes be reducible to a finite mapping. They are called reducibly infinite mapping.
The structure of a theocept is such that around any compartrix there lies a theoceptic structure. This is achieved by allowing real numbers to define places and dimensions. Take the place 0,0,.. there exists an infinite structure of points that lie around 0,0,... but less than 1,1,..., and 1,0,..., and 0,1,0,... etc. these points in one dimension are for example, 1/2,0,...., 1/3,0,..., 1/4,0,... etc. Of course this process can be carried out in every dimension. The dimensions don’t need to be whole numbers. so instead of dimension 1 or the X axis as in the previous example we can have dimension 1.2 or 1.234 or any real number.
