Research communication in interdisciplinary research projects requires a way of demarcation of theory and knowledge that is easy to communicate, is inconsequential for the framework of concepts, results, and procedures within existing scientific disciplines, and abstains from trying to resolve the dispute between (neo)positivists and constructivists. A simple way of demarcation starts from the notion of language‐independent and language‐dependent reality. Currently, what passes for knowledge (“news”) and myth (“fake news”) depends, besides on sheer volume and frequency of the messages, increasingly on the internal consistency of (computer) language‐dependent reality and decreasingly on language‐independent reality. All language is instruction, and knowledge is to know which instructions (that is, theory) are predictive of a result, state, or situation in language‐independent reality. Any theory that doesn’t reduce outcome space, or contains one or more empirically/physically impossible instructions, or produces wrong predictions, or falls short of demonstration is not knowledge.

理论与知识分界的建议

跨学科研究项目中的研究交流需要一种易于交流的理论和知识的划分方式，对现有科学学科内的概念、结果和程序的框架无关紧要，并避免试图解决（新）实证主义者和建构主义者。一种简单的划分方法始于独立于语言和依赖于语言的现实的概念。目前，知识（“新闻”）和神话（“假新闻”）的传递取决于消息的绝对数量和频率，越来越依赖于（计算机）依赖于语言的现实的内部一致性，而越来越依赖于独立于语言的现实现实。所有的语言都是指令，而知识就是知道哪些指令（即理论）可以预测结果、状态、或独立于语言的现实中的情况。任何不减少结果空间，或包含一个或多个经验/物理上不可能的指令，或产生错误预测或未能证明的理论都不是知识。
