    Contextual(as used in legal reasoning)
    Dependent on the specific circumstances, setting, or surrounding details rather than being the same in every situation.
    Truth(Horkheimer's critical theory epistemology)
    The relation of propositions to reality, where both human conceptual activity and an independent reality are given equal weight.
    conceptual entailment(Contrasted with causal interpretation of appraisal-emotion relations)
    A logical or semantic relationship in which one concept necessarily implies another, as opposed to a causal relationship where one event produces another
    contingent(De Interpretatione 12–13)
    Equated with 'possible'; on the two-sided interpretation, contingency excludes necessity (possibility implies non-necessity).
