    The framework or process we use when thinking through moral decisions and figuring out what we should do.
    Logical structure(as used in logic)
    The underlying pattern of how an argument is organized—which statements connect to which, and how they're supposed to support each other.
    Standard (in the context of reasoning)(as used in epistemology and logic)
    A rule or measure we use to judge whether something is done well or poorly—like a rubric for grading.
