The failure of past arguments to demonstrate violations of uncertainty relations does not establish logical contingency—it may merely reflect the difficulty of constructing decisive thought experiments.

Thought experiments(as the tool modern philosophers use differently than Plato did): Imaginary scenarios that philosophers create and examine to test ideas or explore what's logically possible, often used to challenge assumptions.
Uncertainty relations(as used in physics and philosophy of science): Rules in quantum physics stating that you cannot know certain pairs of properties (like a particle's position and speed) with perfect precision at the same time—the more accurately you measure one, the less you can know about the other.
decisive(Core concept of minimal liberalism in Sen's framework): An individual is decisive over a pair of alternatives if society's preference between those alternatives tracks that individual's preference, irrespective of others' preferences
logical contingency(Contrasted with metaphysical contingency to clarify the scope of the PSR): The property of a proposition that is neither logically necessary nor logically impossible
