Interpreter and Interpretant • Selection 7 • https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2025/01/15/interpreter-and-interpretant-sele… Learning — Rules in a knowledge base, as far as their effective content goes, can be obtained by any mode of inference. For example, consider a proposition of the following form. • B ⇒ A, Just Before it rains, the Air is cool. Such a proposition is usually induced from a consideration of many past events, as follows. • Case : C ⇒ B, In Certain events, it is just Before it rains. • Fact : C ⇒ A, In Certain events, the Air is cool. • Rule : B ⇒ A, Just Before it rains, the Air is cool. However, the same proposition could also be abduced as an explanation of a singular occurrence or deduced as a conclusion of a prior theory. References — Awbrey, J.L., and Awbrey, S.M.
