- Conclusion(Output of an Argument; may be singular (C) or plural (C1, C2, etc.))
- A logically interconnected result produced by an Argument within a Deduction
- Evidence(Distinguished from prior/intrinsic probability in the context of the low priors argument)
- Factors extrinsic to a hypothesis that raise or lower its probability
- Justified (in epistemology)(as used in the theory of knowledge)
- When a belief is supported by good reasons or evidence—you have legitimate grounds to think it's true.
- Premise
- A premise is a statement or fact that you assume to be true as a starting point for reasoning or making an argument. Think of it as the foundation or building block you use to reach a conclusion—for example, "All dogs are animals" and "My pet is a dog" are premises that lead to the conclusion "My pet is an animal." Premises are essentially the evidence or claims you offer before drawing a final conclusion.
- Rationally requires(in logic and philosophy)
- Logically demands or necessitates based on reason—if you accept something as true, then reason says you must accept what follows from it.
- Transmissive (in epistemology)(as used in the theory of knowledge)
- The idea that if you have good reasons to believe something, and those reasons logically lead to a conclusion, then you automatically have good reasons to believe that conclusion too.
- argument(Epistemology and argumentation theory; the 'evidentiary' conception of argument)
- An evidentiary construct consisting of (1) premises, (2) a conclusion, and (3) an inference from the premises to the conclusion, implying that the conclusion is true, likely true, plausible, or should otherwise be accepted.
- background assumptions(Davies 2003a, p. 43)
- Assumptions an externalist must hold in order to rationally grant that the *premises are warranted, which already imply the conclusion (3)
- non-transmissive(Applied to Zebra* and the disjunctive template)
- A structure or template is non-transmissive of first-time justification when conditions for acquiring first-time justification for a conclusion cannot all be satisfied when that structure is instantiated.
