    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→The Zebra* variant instantiates the disjunctive template

    Key Terms

    Closure failure(epistemology)
    When a logical system breaks down because you can't reliably extend your knowledge from one situation to related situations.
    Disjunctive structure(epistemology)
    A way of explaining something that offers multiple separate options or possibilities (like saying 'this is either A or B').
    Perceptual state(part of the mechanism of perception)
    The experience or mental condition you're in when you're perceiving something—what it's like to see, hear, or feel something at a given moment.
    counterfactual dependency(in causality)
    When one thing would not have happened if another thing hadn't happened first—like saying 'if the match hadn't been struck, the fire wouldn't have started.'

    (Third condition of the tripartite account of knowledge)

    subjectively indistinguishable(Used to characterize the relationship between hallucinatory and veridical experiences)
    Indistinguishable by the subject 'from the inside'
