Schema test

a structured action designed to evaluate a schema by making a falsifiable prediction, taking defined action, observing results, and specifying revision triggers, where the test must have genuine risk of falsification to be valid

Why This Is a Definition

This definition establishes the precise components of a schema test (prediction, action, observation, revision triggers) and the critical requirement that tests must have 'genuine risk of falsification' to be valid. It creates a clear boundary distinguishing actual schema tests from mere actions or reflections.
