-r, thîr)n. pl. the·o·ries
1. A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
2. The branch of a science or art consisting of its explanatory statements, accepted principles, and methods of analysis, as opposed to practice: a fine musician who had never studied theory.
3. A set of theorems that constitute a systematic view of a branch of mathematics.
4. Abstract reasoning; speculation: a decision based on experience rather than theory.
5. A belief or principle that guides action or assists comprehension or judgment: staked out the house on the theory that criminals usually return to the scene of the crime.
6. An assumption based on limited information or knowledge; a conjecture.
Over the past few days, I have developed a few theories.. All based on the information as I know it. Theories are disproved everyday when new facts come to light or they are tested. Everyday.
I can only build mine on what I have and what I know. A few I don't like, a few I do. As new facts come out, I can eliminate some and redesign others.
There is a linchpin that these are riding on. One key piece of information that will eliminate some and strengthen others.
That linchpin is feelings.
