Empiriological: basically a label for the method of most modern specialized sciences, where we look to predict outcomes from using models based primarily on mathematics and other organizational criteria. As opposed to understanding the essence of things, or the ontological nature of things.
Empiriometric: those sciences based almost exclusively on mathematics to explain physical reality.
Empirioschematic: sciences (like biology) where information is organized by categories (rather than pure mathematics) to explain physical reality.
