alized Terms Abduction: A general form of inference that goes from data describing something to a hypothesis that accounts for the data. Often in an OpenCog context, this refers to the PLN abduction rule, a specific First-Order PLN rule (If A implies C, and B implies C, then maybe A is B), which embodies
