The Logic of Scientific Discovery

Popper, Karl R. The Logic of Scientific Discovery. London: Hutchinson, 1959.

Why this matters here

Karl Popper's The Logic of Scientific Discovery argues that scientific claims must be open to falsification—criticism and potential refutation, not confirmation alone, define the method. How Serious Systems Learn turns that demand against brand capture of scaled methods: when failure cannot be spoken without threatening identity, the discipline has crossed into mythic territory the method can no longer correct.
