Information About

Logical Reasoning

::Given α, β, and the rule ''R''₁ : α ∴ β

Deduction is using the rule and its preconditions to make a conclusion (α ∧ ''R''₁ ⇒ β).

Induction is learning ''R''₁ after numerous examples of β and α.

Abduction is using the postcondition and the rule to assume that the precondition could explain the postcondition (β ∧ ''R''₁ ⇒ α).
