nomological

Nomological possibility is possibility under the actual laws of nature.

The authors then validated this measure in a nomological network of related constructs.

He thinks that systems in which such "nomological danglers would dangle" are quite odd.

Nomological determinism is the most common form of causal determinism.

Nomological determinism is sometimes illustrated by the thought experiment of Laplace's demon.

A nomological network defines a construct by illustrating its relation to other constructs and behaviors.

However, nomological determinism refers to these notions as a statement in principle, and their reduction to practice is not at issue.

The interesting thing to observe is that instead of having to ask, now, "Does nomological necessity satisfy the axiom (5)?"

"A meta-analytic examination of the goal orientation nomological net".

Nomological validity is a form of construct validity.

The elements of a nomological network are:

However, other authors specifically distinguish between nomological determinism and physical determinism.

The connection between knowledge and the external world, for Armstrong, is a nomological relationship (that is, a law of nature relationship).

If they are indicators of one another then the nomological network, and therefore the constructed theory, of academic achievement is strengthened.

Call the three strengths of necessity above 'practical', 'nomological' and 'logical' necessity respectively.

It is the degree to which a construct behaves as it should within a system of related constructs called a nomological net.

Creating a nomological net can also make the observation and measurement of existing constructs more efficient by pinpointing errors.

The principle of the nomological character of causality: all events are causally related through strict laws.

In his example the nomological danglers would be sensations such that are not able to be explained by the scientific theory of brain processes.

Nomological statements and admissible operations.

In its most common form, nomological (or scientific) determinism, future events are necessitated by past and present events combined with the laws of nature.

In epistemology, one can, instead of talking about nomological accessibility, talk about epistemic accessibility.

Such a position implies nomological determinism, which holds that all future events are governed by the past or present according to all-encompassing deterministic laws.

Nomological determinism is sometimes called 'scientific' determinism, although that is a misnomer.

It is debatable whether the nomological impossibility of a thought experiment renders intuitions about it moot.
