The overall picture makes somewhat sense but I have much trouble with the phrasings of the constraint details.
How do you know before hand whether a object of study is homogenous or not. Okay it seems plausible that “white objects” doesn’t have much. But I think scientific study of swans should definetely be “in”. Now does the existence of black swans means the homogenuity of the study object is ruined and study should be suspended? Gold might seem homogenous but this can be problematised. Somebody might think that “fools gold” is variety of gold. And even if gold is a specific amount of protons, there are lots of isotopes covered by it. Gold atoms can be in a variety of electronal excitement states. Their cores can be in excitement states that can relax into gamma ray emissions. That seems very heterogenous and the combining factor can seem a lot like being identical to the selection factor, you can only say that white things are white but likewise you can only say that gold things are gold (electronal excitements claims will be crap, isotopes claims will be crap etc).
If money is a attributed thing and attributive properties make for non-scientific use then does that make economics not be a scientific study in so far as it explores money?
The analog with evolution does clear it a fair bit. Darwin might have sough out for a statement like “To be fit is to be tall” with main focus on what property beside tall might make the statement actually true. But what the end result was was not a statement with that kind of structure.
I am starting to get a feel that like evolution enables (more) quantified husbandry, a theory of intelligence enables one to build AGI. Previously I have understood why AGI would be powerful but I guess with this line of reasoning the importance of understanding the theory of intelligence seems like the more pertient one. Even if we don’t have it yet, its place in culture would be similar to relativity or evolution.
