Abstract
There are three prerequisites for every meaningful empirical investigation. First, an object of investigation must be identified; second, a purpose of investigating the object must be known; third, constraints imposed upon the investigation must be assessed.
A basic purpose of theorizing is to organize information in a way that will develop its nonobvious implications.
—David R. Heise
