What proposition is used?

Dear Friends,

I wonder what preposition is used with 'parameter' in the following:

Thomas Greene fails to specify the parameters under/along/? which his theory operates.

Thankas a lot.

Hi, I wonder what preposition is used with 'parameter' in the following: Thomas Greene fails to specify the parameters under/along/? which his theory operates. A 'parameter' is a rather vague term, although it often relates to limits or boundaries, in which case the common preposition is 'within'.

  • Saying that 'a theory operates ' seems a bit odd and awkward to me.
  • Saying that it operates under/along/within parameters seems odd and awkward, too.
