A philosophical framework holding that formal systems are always from a perspective—that what a formalism reveals depends on the perspective from which it is developed and applied. Different logical systems reveal different aspects of reasoning; different programming paradigms reveal different aspects of computation; different formal frameworks make different phenomena visible. Perspectivism demands that formal scientists be explicit about their frameworks, recognizing that the formalisms they choose shape what they can express.
Example: "Her perspectivism of the formal sciences meant she saw functional programming, object-oriented programming, and logic programming not as competing for the one true way to compute, but as different perspectives on computation—each suited to different problems."
