Beyond the Habitual Paths of Reasoning

Change Paths in Reasoning!

Millions of research funding has been put down to develop what I call old forms of reasoning that are characterized by strong focus on theoretical properties and strict adherence to the completeness properties of reasoning procedures. Despite the large amount of work and results that have been achieved, various benchmarks reinstate that the progress does not su ce for needs in the scale of many...

Reasoning about connectivity without paths

In graph theory connectivity is stated, prevailingly, in terms of paths. While exploiting a proof assistant to check formal reasoning about graphs, we chose to work with an alternative characterization of connectivity: for, within the framework of the underlying set theory, it requires virtually no preparatory notions. We say that a graphs devoid of isolated vertices is connected if no subset o...

Intelligent Knowledge Beyond Data Mining: Influences of Habitual Domains

Beyond Foundational Reasoning

Implementations of logical reasoning systems are invariably based on the foundational theory of justification. The AGM logic is based on the coherence theory and the principle of minimal change, but this presents difficulties in its implementation. We show that both the foundational and coherence styles of reasoning are necessary for practical reasoning and that both can be achieved in the AGM ...

The Effect of Bayesian Reasoning Training on the Results of Clinical Reasoning Tests of Interns

Introduction: Clinical reasoning includes a range of thinking about clinical medicine at all stages of patient evaluation. Bayesian theory can be used to refute or confirm differential diagnoses in the clinical reasoning process. In this way, by learning the basic mathematical language of probability in medicine, we can change our beliefs according to new evidence. The aim of this study is to i...
