contents <p>In the context of ultra-specialized scientific practices, classical notions of objectivity rooted in theoretical unification and semantic correspondence become untenable. This paper offers an epistemological reformulation of scientific objectivity as an emergent property of structural compatibility across constraint regimes. By modeling science as a topological space of epistemic systems, we argue that objectivity arises from the robustness, repeatability, and partial translatability of local practices, rather than from access to a unified ontology. This account clarifies the conditions under which fragmented disciplines can sustain reliable forms of knowledge without metaphysical reductionism, and proposes a structural framework for analyzing scientific interoperability through morphisms, bridges, and epistemic covers.</p>
