The principles of reasoning
In their
academic training, scientists do not learn the principles of reasoning. They
receive extensive training in deductive
reasoning but models are built by inductive
reasoning.
Solid
evidence supports the contention that the principles of reasoning are the pair
of principles which collectively are called “ultra-optimization.” Translated to
English prose, the principles are to:
o
Maximize the knowledge and,
o
Keep the inferences
honest.
These principles
have rmathematical definitions that are introduced
under the heading Theoretical basis, on
the home page.
