The Mohist experimental science theoretical system of deviator removing can be restored by re-discriminating Mohist scriptures. This system includes the theory of system composition, the theory of functional evaluation, the method of judging the root cause of things, the theory of experimental check, the method of single-step controlled experiment, the knowledge base of deviator, the method of classification research and the method of experimental record management, etc., forming a fairly complete theoretical system of experimental science.
