organum

Aristotle's Organon (and Bacon's Novum Organum ) literally means (new) tool.

I listen to a fair amount of choral music, from plainchant and organum up through modern and contemporary works.

In less time, I'd bet on Ouspensky's Tertium Organum or Fourth Way (or both in that order).

Cue Francis Bacon's Novum Organum and deliberate experimentation.

Take a look at Francis Bacon's Novum Organum written in 1620, specifically the sections on the four idols of the human mind that sometimes prevent one from reaching truthful conclusions.

What do you think of the Novum Organum by Sir Francis Bacon, who served as Attorney General and Lord Chancellor of England under King James I?

What changed starting, arguably, at some point between roughly 1620 (publication year of Francis Bacon's Novum Organum ) and about 1800 (patent expiry on James Watt's enhancements to the Newcomen steam engine) was a change in attitudes to both science and technology (or the practical arts, as they were then called), due to numerous factors.

Incidentally, Kepler corresponded with Wilhelm Schickard on the latter's "arithmeticum organum", the first ever proper mechanical calculator (could do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division).

"What I cannot create, I do not understand." —Feynman Francis Bacon established the same idea as the foundation of the scientific method in "Novum Organum."

Google says: "While elements of the scientific method existed in ancient times, the modern scientific method is generally attributed to Sir Francis Bacon who outlined it in his 1620 treatise "Novum Organum," placing the invention of the scientific method during the early 17th century during the Scientific Revolution;" which sounds about right.

Magna, inquam, tum ob rei ipsius praestantiam, tum ob inauditam per aevum novitatem, tum etiam propter Organum, cuius beneficio eadem sensui nostro obviam sese fecerunt.

I personally believe data science began with Bacon's Novum Organum[5], which describes an inductive method[6] starting from tables of facts and simplifying them until you reason general truths that may be treated as axioms for the purposes of deductive reasoning.
