Categorical Hypothesis Building – S8

S8 Categorical Hypothesis Building

Scope note:

This class comprises the action of making categorical hypotheses based on inference rules and theories; By categorical hypotheses we mean assumptions about the kinds of interactions and related kinds of structures of a domain that have the character of “laws” of nature or human behavior, be it necessary or probabilistic. Categorical hypotheses are developed by “induction” from finite numbers of observation and the absence of observations of particular kinds. As such, categorical hypotheses are always subject to falsification by new evidence. Instances of S8 Categorical Hypothesis Building include making and questioning categorical hypotheses.

Examples:

hypothesising that “no binding before the 9 th century is made with spine supports” by Szirmai (S8) [documented in section 7.1 and 7.2 of “The Archaeology of Medieval bookbinding”] (Szirmai, J.A. 1999)

In First Order Logic:

  • S8(x) ⇒ S5(x)
