- Goodman's (1955) grue puzzle
This sourceOpening chapters set out the problem of counterfactual conditionals and projectibility; introduces the grue 'new riddle of induction,' exposing how counterfactual truth depends on which predicates are projectible/natural. Verified support for the similarity-semantics challenge.

Goodman's book defines the predicate 'grue' and presents the resulting puzzle as the new riddle of induction about projectible hypotheses.
“Thus according to our definition, the prediction that all emeralds subsequently examined will be green and the prediction that all will be grue are alike confirmed by evidence statements describing the same observations.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
