- Abductive reasoning (also called abduction, abductive inference, or retroduction) is a form of logical inference that starts with an observation or set of observations and then seeks to find the simplest and most likely conclusion from the observations. #**Occam’s razor**? designerly thinking?
-
Despite many possible explanations for any physical process that we observe, we tend to abduce a single explanation (or a few explanations) for this process in the expectation that we can better orient ourselves in our surroundings and disregard some possibilities. Properly used, abductive reasoning can be a useful source of Bayesian priors
- This process, unlike deductive reasoning, yields a plausible conclusion but does not positively verify it - inference to the best explanation
- inductive
-
Deductive
- a valid deduction guarantees the truth of the conclusion

not evergreen, jumping off point, gets bibliography metadata from Zotero (manually)
- wonder if he automatically pulls in these for citations
- named autors comma title
- writes short summary - not copying from his daily note. Grounds his thinking, provides feedback about how well he understands the bookj.
- trying to put it in his own words, instead of copying
