Intertheoretic Reduction

Intertheoretic Reduction is a philosophical account of theory change in science that belongs to the class of models explaining conceptual and ontological relationships between successive scientific theories, specifically characterized by the derivation of laws or principles from a less general (reduced) theory within a more comprehensive (reducing) theory through systematic correspondence and limit relations.
