✦ Synopsis

Though each science has its own special features, chromatography neatly and simply illustrates most of the significant characteristics of the discovery process. These include multiple discovery (and its logical counterpart "adumbrationism"), missed discoveries, the dominance of a problem, the crucial role of observation, the advantages of tangential approach, analogy, and serendipity. The story of chromatography also brings out the contributions of the craft and scholarly traditions, the influence of human interactions, and the impact of the intellectual climate. The paper gives examples of these various factors, and stressed the importance to science of collecting information now on how discoveries are actually made, particularly for those discoveries which may not seem to be paradigmatic.

This paper argues that all discoveries, if they can be viewed as autonomous learning from the environment, share a common process. This is the process of model abstraction involving four steps: act, predict, surprise, and refine, all built on top of the discoverer's innate actions, percepts, and men
