Abstract

In Chap. 6 we noted that the concept of ‘truth’ was limited to deductive inference only. For other kinds of inference we have introduced the new concept of ‘belief’ to replace ‘truth’. Our approach is now to represent experiments with a computer model that allows for variability in four key components of the scientific process.
