This is the strategy that Carnap employed in "The Methodological Character of Theoretical Concepts" (1956).
This paper also has also a methodological character; we computed Gauss coefficients of the main (dynamo) field, and computed coefficients of the so-called ring current field.
Carnap has not much to say about meaning and reference of mathematical expressions in his seminal "The Methodological Character of Theoretical Concepts" (1956) but discusses these issues in his "Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology" (1950).
I describe and analyse how this field's 'drive to make' shapes its organisational, methodological, epistemological, and ontological character.
The empirical results of our study should thus be interpreted in light of its exploratory character and the methodological limitations.
Some are methodological, such as the necessarily partial character of distributed knowledge (an argument à la Hayek), the changing character of the social world, or the low power of statistical tests (Summers 1986).
Probable reasons for this are that in immature stages there appears to be no morphological characterization that would distinguish Ditrysia from monotrysians, and the methodological decision to exclude morphological characters only applicable for resolving interrelationships within Monotrysia.
The questions that have been raised concerning the aesthetic judgment and artistic and literary history are making allowance for the peculiar character of art, identical with the methodological questions that arise in every field of historical study.
Methodological sources of incongruence play some role in generating phylogenetic conflict, and are relatively easy to eliminate by matching taxa, collecting more characters, and applying the same algorithms to optimize phylogeny.
We introduce new morphological data for phyllostomids and outgroups and expand previous molecular analyses to eliminate methodological sources of phylogenetic conflict such as taxonomic sampling, sparse character sampling, or use of different algorithms to estimate the phylogeny.
There is a wealth of information that surrounds each phylogenetic study, including comparative data such as morphological character state matrices and nucleotide or amino acid sequence alignments, methodological descriptions such as substitution model and provenance information.
