Primes¶
- Abductive Reasoning
- These three operations — best-explainer selection, defeasible holding, and backward-from-observation inference — are substrate-independent because the explanatory-virtue framework itself is, a point Magnani (2001) develops in his treatment of abduction across logical, cognitive, and computational substrates.
This sourceTreats abduction as a single structural inference pattern instantiated across logical, cognitive, perceptual, and computational substrates; develops the role of explanatory virtues, visual/temporal representations, and the withdrawal of hypotheses.
