Scheme/Schema/Searle: that truth and falsehood change with schemata, does not mean that the reality changes. >Conceptual schemes.

>Realism/Searle, >Reference system.

Of course, there are always problems of vagueness, indeterminacy, family resemblance, open texture, contextuality, incommensurability of theories, ambiguity, idealization, under determination of theory by the evidence.
