A Method for Constructing an Intertheoretic Reduction between the Special Sciences

With the proliferation of the special sciences, sciences which are not fundamental physics, the scientific community has discovered incredible complexity in even the simplest biological, meteorological, or psychological systems. The methods of the special sciences are often different from the controlled methods found in fundamental physics and the kinds of claims that can be made are often far more contingent then those made by physicists. This had led to much speculation about whether or not physics can serve as the foundational science, whether or not all of the other sciences are really just “special cases” of physics. Perhaps these disciplines cannot ever be understood in terms of physics; perhaps each special science’s subject matter and fundamental ontology cannot ever be understood in terms of the ontology of fundamental physics. This paper will argue for a method to show how the fundamental ontology of any special science can be related to the ontology of fundamental physics through carefully constructed bridge laws which allow one to state under what conditions something will satisfy a type from a special science given that it satisfies a type from fundamental physics. To do so we must argue for a method that would allow the construction of bridge laws which relate terms in any special science to those of fundamental physics. Someone would be able to start with the statements of fundamental physics, and with the addition of these bridge laws, be able to deduce the statements of any special science. Though these bridge laws have not been fully fleshed out by science, if they could be found it would mean that fundamental physics can reduce any
