Abstract
Science is a system of propositions which are logical descriptions of knowledge about connections, relations and properties of the object studied. In line with the functional role of some of these propositions, they can be grouped into components of the structure of the science.

The order of the enumeration of the components is conditional and does not express their functional connections and relations.
Strictly speaking, the earth has the form of a geoid. But this can be left aside since it does not influence the subsequent discussions.
It should be recalled that every expression in parentheses can be represented as a single proposition.
Contemporary logic understands deduction as the theory of necessary inference and induction as the theory of probable inference. In the present article these words are understood only in this way.
With the exception of the limit-case we mentioned, the probability of which is close to O.
The concept of ‘level of the object’ is used here as intuitively evident and is not more strictly defined because this is outside the matter of this article.
For the description of this experiment, we thank V. K. Grigor’ev and A. P. Grisin. The schema of the experiment is presented in simplified form and the numerical data are conditionally presented. A detailed description of the experiment will be published by the authors in ZETF.
