    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→CET's extension of 'feasible' to all polynomial time functions can diverge from practical feasibility.

    The divergence between CET's polynomial boundary and practical feasibility constitutes a counterexample in the tradition of reflective equilibrium, where theoretical principles must cohere with considered judgments about specific cases.

    Key Terms

    CET(as used in philosophy of computation)
    An abbreviation for a specific philosophical thesis about computation (likely 'Computational Feasibility Thesis' or similar), but the exact meaning would depend on the source text.
    Polynomial boundary(as the theoretical limit of CET)
    A mathematical limit or edge defined by a polynomial equation—essentially, the outer edge of what a mathematical model can handle or describe.
    coherence(Applied uniformly by Bosanquet to both religious and non-religious truth claims.)
    The standard by which truth is assessed — a belief or system of beliefs is true insofar as it forms a consistent, internally unified whole.
    considered judgments(Rawlsian moral epistemology)
    Moral judgments solicited under conditions where people are calm and have adequate information about the cases under consideration, used as inputs to Rawlsian reflective equilibrium

    counterexample([IHT] arg. 2)
    A possible obligational situation (casus possibilis positus) that verifies the antecedent and falsifies the consequent of an inference
    reflective equilibrium(Introduced by Goodman in the context of justifying induction)
    A methodological state reached when considered judgments and the inference rules that best explain those judgments are mutually coherent, achieved by iteratively revising either judgments or rules when conflicts arise
