Inductive: $Observations ± $Patterns ≈ $Generalization

Deductive: $Rule ± $Case = $Conclusion

Abductive: $Observation ± $Background ≈ $BestExplanation

Argumentative: $Claim − $Flaw ≈ $WeakenedClaim

Abstractive: $Subject ± $Object ± $Topic ≈ $Abstraction

Dismissive: $Claim − $Substance → $Nothing

Zen: $Known ± $Unknown ≈ $Unknown ∞ $Known

Tao: $Known ± $Unknown ≈ $Yin ∞ $Yang

Neti Neti: $Reality − $NotReality = $Remaining

Bayesian: $PriorBelief ± $Evidence ≈ $UpdatedBelief

Analogical: $Known ≈ $Similar = $Unknown ≈ $Conclusion

Reductio ad Absurdum: $Assumption ± $LeadsToContradiction = $AssumptionIsProven

Causal: $Cause ± $Effect = $Outcome

Socratic: $Question ± $Assumption = $DeeperUnderstanding

Dialectical: $Thesis ± $Antithesis = $Synthesis
