Person 1: Look at our profit growth. It's off the charts!
Person 2: It only looks that way because the chart doesn't start at zero. It's less than 1%.
Person 1: That's rather disappointing.
Person 2: That's how fluid transparency works. It's not untrue, just misleading.

Get the fluid transparency mug.A term that is rarely used, to represent how transparent the development of a game, or the update for the game is. This can range from showing everything that is being worked on, to all the way to keeping everything hidden from the public eye.
Quantum Science Incorporated's Development Transparency is Semi-Transparent, because they show sneak peeks of some parts of the stuff that they are working on. They do not show everything that is being developed.
However, some groups Development Transparency is at its full, because they show every thing that is being worked on, and all the progress that is being made.
Some groups have absolutely no Development Transparency, and update the game by surprise.

Get the Ur granparents tranparents mug.A meta-scientific framework proposing that science must be radically open about its processes, assumptions, limitations, and internal workings—not merely its final results. It demands that researchers disclose funding sources, methodological choices, raw data, analytical decisions, and even failures. The theory argues that without such transparency, science risks becoming a black box of authority rather than a self‑correcting enterprise. It underpins movements like open science, preregistration, and data sharing, treating opacity as a threat to epistemic integrity.
Example: “The replication crisis pushed the theory of scientific transparency into practice: journals now require raw data and analysis scripts, forcing researchers to show their work, not just their conclusions.”

Get the Theory of Scientific Transparency mug.A philosophical framework holding that the grounds of knowledge claims should be made explicit and open to scrutiny. It opposes appeals to hidden intuition, unspoken authority, or privileged access. The theory demands that any knowledge claim be accompanied by a clear account of how it was justified, what evidence supports it, and what assumptions it rests on. In practice, it encourages reflexivity—knowers must reveal their epistemic positions, not hide behind “objectivity.”
Example: “Her theory of epistemological transparency required that in cross‑cultural research, she explicitly state her own cultural framework, so readers could see how it shaped her interpretation.”

Get the Theory of Epistemological Transparency mug.A specific application of transparency to the scientific method itself: the procedures, protocols, and decision‑points of research must be fully documented and made accessible. It calls for sharing detailed methodologies, including negative results, failed experiments, and deviations from protocol. The goal is to allow replication, scrutiny, and improvement, transforming science from a showcase of success into an open workshop of trial and error.
Example: “The theory of transparency of the scientific method led to registered reports: researchers publish their study design before collecting data, ensuring that later results are judged against the original plan, not cherry‑picked.”
