Formal conditions(as prerequisites for consciousness): The basic mental frameworks or rules that have to be in place before you can even think about or perceive anything at all.
Local, domain-specific facts(as the basis for justifying inductive reasoning according to Norton's theory): Facts that are true only in a particular field or situation—for example, facts about how birds behave are local to biology, not facts that apply everywhere equally.
Material theory of induction(the main concept being explained): A theory arguing that when we learn from examples (like concluding 'all swans are white' after seeing many white swans), we're relying on specific facts about the world, not abstract rules that work everywhere.
Norton(refers to the creator of the theory being discussed): John Norton is a philosopher of science who developed a specific theory about how we learn from experience and draw conclusions from evidence.
