Technically, a theory is said to be a limiting case of another, later theory when and if the later theory subsumes the theoretical relations and apparent referents of the earlier one. For example, physicists agree that classical mechanics constitutes a limiting case of relativity theory.〔Rivadulla, Andres: (The Newtonian Limit of Relativity Theory and the Rationality of Theory Change ), Synthese 141:417–429, 2004.〕 In words of Larry Laudan, realist philosophers use this phrase in the sense that the theory "T1 can be a limiting case of (theory ) T2 only if (a) ''all'' the variables (observable and theoretical) assigned a value in T1 are assigned a value by T2 and (b) the values assigned to every variable of T1 are the same as, or very close to, the values T2 assigns to the corresponding variable when certain initial and boundary conditions—consistent with T2—are specified". The idea that a theory (in our previous example, Newtonian mechanics) that is close to being true (i.e., that is verisimil) converges as a limiting case into a superior theory (in this example, relativistic mechanics) can be an argument for scientific realism, as the theoretical entities postulated by the previous theories are still considered existent (if one assumes semantic realism, they are considered existent because they are referred to) in the successor theories. ==References== * ''A Confutation of Convergent Realism'', Larry Laudan, in "Philosophy of Science" Vol. 48, No. 1 (Mar., 1981), pp. 21, The University of Chicago Press.
