@Ziyad:Actually, this is the definition of a theory

A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

...Let's convert that into Undertale's world now, shall we?

A set of statements of principles devised to explain a group of facts of events in the game, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about events in the game

Theories can be debunked.

Just like geocentrism was debunked by the phases of Venus (and centuries later, stellar parallax), so too can theories of the game be debunked by facts within.

We make guesses to test them.



If we don't test our hypotheses, they are NOT theories. And it also means that we are not using science, which combined with philosophy and logic, is our main method of gathering truth.

We should be trying to solve Undertale. Making competing theories is a good start, but in the end, we're going to have to find out which one is true. And that can only be done by testing them.
