Development of a research methodology
The research of the structure of concepts is probably
one of the most difficult obstacles to be overcome when developing
methods for fundamental analysis. Essences cannot be observed and
therefore part of the research is based on logical inference with
validation in its application to reality.
Only operative concepts can be falsed and they therefore clearly belong
to the field of science. Functional concepts include rules of evolution
which go beyond science and belong to the field of logical behavior.
Extrinsic concepts are much easier to be studied than intrinsic concepts.
Extrinsic concepts can be validated through experiences that are observable.
Intrinsic concepts can only be validated through forecasting until
the response is so accurate that the logical structure of those concepts
is acceptable. Therefore the research of intrinsic concepts requires
a long period of time.
