The idea that the human mind might contain conceptual systems goes back at least as far as Kelly's personal construct theory in 1955. More recently, many scholars discuss conceptual systems and the importance of understanding them (c.f. Bateson, Luhmann, Senge, Quine, Eco, Umpleby, and Wallis). On the personal level, the human mind is generally held to contain a wide range of conceptual systems although they are not well organized. Indeed, our minds are full of conflicting mental models[2] which makes decision making unreliable - particularly in large-scale, complex situations.
Within the academic literature, each theory may be understood as a conceptual system. Conceptual systems are generally held to be more valid and more useful when they are more useful, based on more research, and are more systemically interrelated.[3]
Generally, that validity may also be described in terms of its internal coherence and the correspondence between the conceptual system and another systems (e.g. social system or physical system). Coherence may be tested by Integrative complexity(for individuals) and by Integrative Propositional Analysis (for academic theories). Correspondence is generally tested by empirical analysis and conditions of falsifiability. The conceptual system may then be said to model the physical or social system and the conceptual system may be used as a guide for individual behavior or academic research.
