The central idea these is use conditionals whose antecedents express a impossibility. Such countermathematical are plugged into explanatory scheme and—so hope—capture Here, I dash hope that simply parallel In particular, show based on countermathematicals suscepti...

When applies to normative reasoning, XAI aims at promoting trust decisions systems: fact, such depends on understanding whether systems predictions correspond legally compliant scenarios. This paper extends reasoning work by Governatori et al. (2022) notion stable exp...
