    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→A theory whose core methods depend on parsing discrete, repeatable symbolic units cannot coherently extend to dense, replete symbol systems without losing its explanatory identity.

    Historical cases (formal logic to natural language, classical mechanics to quantum systems) show theories lose predictive power when extended beyond their foundational assumptions.

    Key Terms

    Classical mechanics(in physics)
    The branch of physics that describes how everyday objects move and interact, developed mainly by Newton; it's the physics we use before considering quantum effects or relativity.
    Formal logic
    A discipline that employs artificial abstract languages generally understood to address particular types of inference
    Foundational assumptions(the core beliefs the ameliorative project depends on)
    Basic beliefs or starting points that a theory relies on; if these turn out to be wrong, the whole theory falls apart.
    Natural language(as used in logic and linguistics)
    Language as people actually speak and write it (like English or French), rather than artificial systems created for specific purposes.
    Predictive power(measuring how good these new immunity models are)

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    The ability of a theory or model to correctly predict what will happen in real situations, making it more useful and trustworthy.
    Quantum systems(in physics)
    Objects or processes so tiny (like atoms or electrons) that they follow strange rules where things can be in multiple states at once until observed.
