    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→What sensory experience provides is at best a heuristic trigger for a priori insight, not genuine evidential warrant for the mathematical proposition itself.

    The distinction between 'triggering' insight and 'warranting' it is unclear; if sensory input is necessary for the cognitive process yielding justified belief, it provides warrant.

    Key Terms

    Cognitive process(as used in epistemology)
    A mental activity your brain uses to gain information or form beliefs, like reasoning, memory, or perception.
    Sensory input(the additional data being added to the scenario)
    Information that comes through our senses—like images we see, sounds we hear, or textures we feel—that our brain processes to understand the world.
    Triggering (in epistemology)(as used in epistemology)
    Causing or initiating a mental process or thought, as opposed to providing reasons that justify it. Think of it like the difference between a bell ringing (triggering you to look) versus explaining why you should look.
    Warranting(as used in epistemology)
    Providing good reasons or evidence that makes a belief justified and reasonable to hold. It's about giving legitimate support for why you should believe something.

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    epistemology(Contrasted with purely descriptive scientific inquiry)
    A normative enterprise that tells us how we ought to reason from evidence and how we ought to justify our beliefs, as distinct from merely describing how we do reason or justify beliefs
    justified belief(Coherence theory of justification)
    A belief that is part of a coherent system of beliefs
    warrant(Toulmin's model of argumentation)
    An implicit premise that an argument depends on, which licenses the move from evidence to conclusion; in this context, the unstated assumption that normal misdemeanor penalties are insufficient as a deterrent.
