Corrosion and Materials Degradation, Volume 4, Issue 2

2023 June - 6 articles

Cover Story: This paper explores the roles of empiricism and determinism in science and concludes that the intellectual exercise that we call “science” is best described as the transition from empiricism (i.e., observation) to determinism. This transition (i.e., “science”) is accomplished by formulating theories to explain the observations and models that are based on those theories to predict new phenomena. All models must possess a theoretical basis, but not all theories need to predict phenomena. The structure of a deterministic model is reviewed, and it is emphasized that all models must contain an input, a model engine, and an output, together with a feedback loop that permits the continual updating of the model parameters and a means of assessing predictions against new observations.
