Scructure of Scientific Revolutions
● The discovery of "anomalies" during revolutions in science leads to new paradigms
● New paradigms then ask new questions of old data, move beyond the mere "puzzle-solving" of the previous paradigm, change the rules of the game and the "map" directing new research

Conceptual Spaces
● A conceptual space is a multi-dimensional feature space where points denote objects, and regions denote concepts.
● In conceptual spaces, quality dimensionsdenote basic featuresin which conceptsand objects canbe compared.

From conceptual change to scientific revolutions
Five types of change● (1) addition or deletion of
special laws● (2) change in scale or
metric● (3) change in the importance
of dimensions● (4) change in the separability
of dimensions● (5) addition or deletion of dimensions
