The principle describes an idealized model rather than actual cognitive mechanisms; actual implicature recovery often requires clarification, context repair, or explicit negotiation.

Cognitive mechanisms(as used in philosophy of mind and psychology): The mental processes and systems in your brain that produce thoughts and judgments—basically, how your mind works to generate ideas and make decisions.
Idealized model(Newton's fluid model is idealized because it doesn't account for all the complexities of real fluids): A simplified version of something real that removes messy details to make it easier to study and understand the main ideas.
context repair(one method people use to handle unclear communication): Fixing misunderstandings by clarifying or adjusting the background information (context) that helps people understand each other.
implicature(Located on the far side of the semantic/pragmatic boundary): Pragmatic contributions to communicated meaning that go beyond semantic content, including what is suggested, conveyed, and ordinarily understood as 'what is said.'
