What makes something a science is actually a good question, and most practicing scientists don't have a good answer for that because they have only seen their own field, which is shaped by the peculiarities of its topic of study. I didn't have a clear view until I had been through three or four fields and spent several years resolving my mental dissonance. I [wrote a book](http://madhadron.com/into_the_sciences-sample.html http://madhadron.com/into_the_sciences-sample.html) on the structures I found. Sadly, I don't think it's an effective teaching tool. It's made most people's eyes glaze over except for other people who have also worked across different scientific fields who breezed through and say, "Yeah, that's it exactly."
