Capitalization or not

English Science Computers: Systems, Networks informatics
“From Theorem 3.2.2.8. follows ... ”

I would not capitalize "theorem" here, but capitalization of such cases is used throughout the thesis.

Other examples:

"“… where _(k) was calculated in the Proof of Proposition 3.2.1.4 on page 24.” here I would neither capitalize "proof" nor "proposition."

In the following, the measures of system performance as defined in Section 3.2.5 will be calculated for the M=M=1=1 system with (r:S)- policy from Section 3.2.4 exemplarily.” or here "section"

Some imput?

Discussion

Tony M Nov 7, 2012:
My own preference... Standard practice will usually capitalize Volume, Chapter, Section, Article, etc.

I would extend this to things like Theorem, Proof, Figure, Table, if these are specifically referred to by name.

So I would write:

"This point will be illustrated in a figure in Chapter 2"
but:
"Here we can see from Table 2 (page 65) that Theorem 6 above can be proved by Equation 13 below."
