Cover Story: The various controversies surrounding machine learning (ML) have provoked a deluge of applications for ML approaches in all scientific fields. In order to preserve the role of science in regard to generating novel knowledge by means of an implicit never-ending change in perspectives and paradigms, the proliferation of very precise (but often difficult to explain) ML applications must be prioritized. This paper, after demonstrating the impossibility of a completely theory-free approach, introduces the relational system theory paradigm as an efficient tool for transforming data-driven correlation structures into physically reliable interactions happening in the analyzed system. This approach allows us to regenerate the natural fusion of data-driven and theory-driven styles of reasoning in the ML era. View this paper
