A principle confirmed without a single counterinstance across all human experience is functionally indistinguishable from an empirical generalization with maximal inductive support.

Counterinstance(as used in logic): A specific example or case that goes against a general rule or claim, proving the rule isn't always true.
Empirical: # Empirical Empirical means based on real observation, experience, or experiments rather than theory or guessing. When something is empirical, it's proven by actually testing it or seeing it happen in the real world, not just thinking about it logically. For example, empirical evidence might be data collected from a survey or results from a scientific experiment that shows what actually occurs.
Generalization(Used in SQML proofs involving quantifiers): A proof rule in SQML by which a universally quantified formula is derived from an open formula, e.g. deriving ∀x(Fx → Fx) from the tautology Fx → Fx
Maximal(as used in logic and metaphysics): The largest or most complete version of something possible; here, it refers to a person's entire lifespan from beginning to end.
