再现性的概念被广泛认为是科学方法的基石。然而，最近的问题，在大规模系统和生物医学研究的经验结果的再现性，投下了怀疑其普遍和严格的适用性超出了所谓的基础科学。在跨学科工作中，再现性是一个特别困难的问题，其中要再现的结果通常涉及所考虑系统的不同描述水平。在这种情况下，必须区分系统的相关性或多或少的特征、属性或可观测量，这取决于它们被描述的级别。出于这个原因，我们提出了一个计划的一个一般的“关系的相关性”之间的复杂程度，在该系统被认为是其描述的粒度。这种关系意味着系统及其描述的特定选定方面的相关性标准，这可以通过称为“上下文紧急”的层间关系在操作上实现。它产生了一个正式的声音和经验适用的程序之间的翻译描述性的水平，从而构建一个整体一致的方式再现性水平的具体标准。关联关系与语境涌现相结合，挑战了一个基本本体论的旧观念，即其他一切都源于这个本体论。与此同时，我们的建议足够具体，足以抵制反弹，成为一个相对主义的拼凑不相连的模型片段。
The concept of reproducibility is widely considered a cornerstone of scientific methodology. However, recent problems with the reproducibility of empirical results in large-scale systems and in biomedical research have cast doubts on its universal and rigid applicability beyond the so-called basic sciences. Reproducibility is a particularly difficult issue in interdisciplinary work where the results to be reproduced typically refer to different levels of description of the system considered. In such cases, it is mandatory to distinguish between more and less relevant features, attributes or observables of the system, depending on the level at which they are described. For this reason, we propose a scheme for a general ‘relation of relevance’ between the level of complexity at which a system is considered and the granularity of its description. This relation implies relevance criteria for particular selected aspects of a system and its description, which can be operationally implemented by an interlevel relation called ‘contextual emergence’. It yields a formally sound and empirically applicable procedure to translate between descriptive levels and thus construct level-specific criteria for reproducibility in an overall consistent fashion. Relevance relations merged with contextual emergence challenge the old idea of one fundamental ontology from which everything else derives. At the same time, our proposal is specific enough to resist the backlash into a relativist patchwork of unconnected model fragments.
