Abstract

A Test Space is a mathematical object which models the process of scientific inquiry. We examine the motivation of defining the Test Spaces and discuss connections between the Test Spaces and Metamathematics. A variant of Test Spaces called orthogonal partitions is introduced and we draw comparisons between the two. The combinatorial problems of counting finite Test Spaces and orthogonal partitions is highlighted. Some issues in manipulating infinite Test Spaces are discussed as well.
