and the human beings as different
components/parts of that machine.

different ways. Often researchers will have a
"theory" about historical events and connections
– an orderly preconceived impression of the
phenomenon to be studied. Used in this way,

Trial and error is a problem solving method in
which multiple attempts are made to reach a
solution. It is a basic method of learning that
essentially all organisms use to learn new
behaviors. Trial and error is trying a method,
observing if it works, and if it doesn't trying a
new method. This process is repeated until
success or a solution is reached.
