   Challenges to Rigor: The Problem of Sub-Axiomatic Bias
   A significant challenge to absolute empirical validation (EV) is the inevitable presence of Sub-Axiomatic Bias (SAB). SAB posits that every observation is framed by the researcher's pre-existing, often subconscious, acceptance of basic, untestable assumptions about causality, linearity, and the [conservation of…

2. Mathematical Model

   Linked via "assumptions"

   A Mathematical Model (MM)/) is an abstract description of a real-world or hypothetical system using mathematical concepts and language. The primary purpose of an MM/) is to simplify complexity, allowing for analysis, prediction, or control over the described phenomenon. These models typically employ formal constructs such as equations, variables, constants, logical operators, and [graphi…

   Application in Governance and Land Tenure
   Mathematical modeling/) plays a significant, if often disputed, role in administrative planning. The historical application of MMs/) to agrarian economics, such as the Permanent Settlement of 1793 in Bengal, provides a classic case study in the dangers of miscalibrated assumptions [5]. The model used purportedly contained an error rela…
