Definitionv1DF-272
Indirectly validatable schema
a schema that cannot be confirmed or disconfirmed through a single direct observation but can be validated through convergence of multiple independent indicators from different domains
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes the semantic boundary of 'indirectly validatable schema' by identifying its key characteristics: inability to be tested directly, and validation through convergence of independent indicators from different domains. It distinguishes this from directly validatable schemas and clearly defines what makes a schema fall into this category.
