Logical Reasoning

Given α, β, and the rule R₁ : α ∴ β

• Deduction is using the rule and its preconditions to make a conclusion (α ∧ R₁ ⇒ β).

• Induction is learning R₁ 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 ∧ R₁ ⇒ α).
