Abstract

In an emerging system, one of the primary functions of the founders should be to explore acceptable justification systems. Consider, for example, intuition, logic, or causality. In doing this, it is helpful to recognize that each choice of systems—even if only made on a temporary basis—will have significant impacts on which true items may be proven and which false items may be disproved. When this is done a case is easily made that a meaningful evaluation is possible with only a shared justification system present. Items of truth and belief, although of extreme interest to the parties of most evaluations, are shown to be irrelevant to the advancement of knowledge that may come about as a result of the evaluation itself.
