CORRESPONDENCE PRINCIPLE
any new theory, whatever its
character--or details--should reduce to the well-established
theory to which it corresponds when the new theory is applied to
the circumstances for which the less general theory is known to
hold. This principle was first applied to the theory of atomic
structure by Niels Bohr in l923. (Weidner and Sells, l960, p. 29)
The principle can be applied to great advantage in relativity
theory and in quantum mechanics. It can also be applied to the
LAW OF REQUISITE variety, the principle of self-organization, and
the more recent interpretations of the possibility of
objectivity. (Umpleby)
