We use and improve the structuralist framework which was developed
in the last fourty years. We work on simulation programmes for theory developments.
In a programme by D. Kurzawe the hypotheses of a theory are evaluated by
researchers and learners relative to data of the theory.
A program by J. Urban simulates 'blind' flows of changes
induced by confirming and disconfirming events in theory-nets.
This programme is blind because the contents of the theories are not specified.
