- Continuity vs. Rupture
- This separates continuity-vs-rupture from disputes about causation (what caused the change?), significance (did the change matter?), or facticity (did the change occur?) — a separation Kuhn (1962) made tractable by isolating paradigm-incommensurability from factual disagreement.
