... A Universal Method for All Domains

It is the master method from which sprang many other methods that were given other names but the stages of these methods are the same.

These other methods may have special characteristics, such as being aimed at a certain domain or special purpose. They also may use special, creative, non-logical, logical and technical methods as well as the general ones, but the stages to reliable knowledge are the same.

Some authors may name different terms for the stages and present a shorter formula.

Learn SM-14 and you learn the formula for all of the methods listed below
