Explanatory Completeness
Scientific explanations are diagramed in standard form with the generalizations and initial conditions explicitly specified which they normally appear in paragraph form in order to be readable. Therefore, as long as the explanations in paragraph form can be reconstructed into standard form and explanans logically implies the explanadum, there is no harm done.
Explanatory completeness is a function of two factors:
1. The extent to which all the relevant generalizations and initial conditions are known.
2. The extent to which all the relevant generalizations and initial conditions specified.
Moreover, there are four degrees of explanatory completeness which are complete explanation, elliptic explanation, partial explanation, and explanation sketch.
