Methodology and a discipline for synthetic research

— What is Synthesiology? —

Abstract

In the analytical sciences, several formulations of the discipline such as Descartes' discourse, Kuhn's paradigm, and Popper's falsifiability have been attempted, but such discussion has not been done for Synthesiology. The only exception is the series of work by Yoshikawa. Here, I attempt a formulation of the methodology of Synthesiology as a discipline by stating that what Yoshikawa calls Type 2 Basic Research is synthetic research.
