In general, pattern, exemplar, or example (especially an outstanding or unproblematic example); more technically, a theoretical, methodological, or heuristic framework Originally meaning the exemplification of the rule, the term paradigm has become the rule that governs the example In modern structural linguistics, particularly with Roman Jakobson [253], the paradigm is defined by complementary opposition to the syntagm, the paradigmatic axis being the system of associations from which the constitutive elements of the discursive chain, or syntagm, are selected

Introduced by Thomas Kuhn in his 1962 work,The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, the concept of paradigm is linked to a "coherent tradition of scientific research (p 11) " Examples include Newtonian mechanics or Copernican astronomy To say that a group of scientists shares a certain paradigm means that they have a common "way of seeing the world and of practicing science in it (p 4) "

An acquired way of thinking about something that shapes thought and action in ways that are both conscious and unconscious Paradigms are essential because they provide a culturally shared model for how to think and act, but they can present major obstacles to adopting newer, better approaches

paradigm shift
Phrase coined by Thomas Kuhn in his famous book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) Kuhn's idea is that scientific progress occurs, not by slow incremental accumulation alone, but also by occasional "revolutions," in which "an older paradigm is replaced in whole or in part by an incompatible new one" (Kuhn, p 92) - a paradigm shift It refers to a group of people, or even a whole society, undergoing a change of world view, as for example from believing the earth was flat to believing the earth is round, or believing the sun and stars revolve around earth vs the earth revolving around the sun Biblical scholarship is often assumed to have undergone a paradigm shift from a diachronic to a synchronic worldview
paradigm shift
When one conceptual world-view is replaced by another, or, a change of patterns on a massive scale When Copernicus showed how the Earth rotates around the Sun, and not vice versa, that created a paradigm shift [it forced a new way of thinking about our place in the Universe] And when quantum physics and general relativity displaced Newtonian mechanics, that created another shift Applied to an enabling technology such as molecular manufacturing, it suggests that there will be many shifts occurring, soon, and with wide-ranging and often disruptive consequences For more detail, see Accelerating Intelligence: Where Will Technology Lead Us?
