Hypothesis, Paradigm, Framework and Concept Evaluation and Testing Across Space and Time: A Revalidation of our Concepts of “Aeternitism” and “Omnimodism”

Abstract

This paper is linked to our papers or our earlier work on neo-centrism, hypothesis formulation, the sociological ninety ten rule, cross-cultural research design, and inductive approaches to hypothesis formulation, all of which have been published by us over the years. Therefore, all the relevant papers are suitably referenced in this paper, and brief summaries and overviews of them provided. This is done in the interests of coherence, internal consistency and clarity, so that readers can understand and comprehend the core concepts easily. To emphasize and to reiterate here, all our papers are interrelated in a continuous chain, none of our papers conflict with each other in any way, and to any degree. We believe that there are no internal contradictions amongst our wide gamut and array of papers that we have been publishing over the years, and no logical fallacies and inconsistencies as well whatsoever. All our papers are therefore interrelated and mutually interdependent in a plethora of different ways; however, this paper offers a fresh perspective and takes the concepts proposed in our earlier papers in an altogether new trajectory. This is done through the means and mechanism of hypothesis, paradigm, framework and concept evaluation and testing across space and time. Likewise, axioms, principles, entities and assumptions, are also evaluated, tested, and revalidated for this purpose. A revalidation of our concepts of “aeternitism” and “omnimodism” is also carried out as a part of this paper. This exercise is done in the interests of better science and better reliabilism; it is also a core component of our “Globalization of science” mission and movement.
