Not only does he object to the operationalism inherent in the very construction of such formal systems, but he now also rejects the intelligibility of the free use of unrestricted quantifiers in the formation of predicates in the axiom schemata of Induction and Replacement.

Mayberry's system is Aristotelian in general inspiration and, despite his strong rejection of any role for operationalism or feasibility in the foundations of mathematics, comes to somewhat similar conclusions such as, for instance, that super-exponentiation is not a legitimate finitary function.

:In the field of linguistics, the influence of Logical Positivism manifested itself as " operationalism " ( a form of behaviorism ), or the belief that if you can't directly measure something, or give a procedure by which it could be measured, then it either doesn't exist or is completely irrelevant to scientific research.

The problem with behavioralism / operationalism was that in their extreme forms they claimed that anything which couldn't be measured ( or which you couldn't set out a procedure of steps to be able to theoretically measure ) either didn't exist, or could be completely ignored in explaining observables ( things which could be measured ).

:I really don't know what's so great about " positivism "-- in my field, the word positivism is synonymous with the behaviorism and operationalism and " proceduralism " ( i . e . the view that if you can't specify an exact sequence of steps to measure something, then it's completely worthless to science, and should not be included in any scientific hypothesis or discussion ) which had a stranglehold in the mid-20th century and impeded progress then.
