Abductive Commonsense Reasoning (2019, background): “monsense implications of observations (e.g., if we observe that the “grass is wet”, a likely hypothesis is that “it rained earlier”) which go beyond the linguistic notion of entailment (also noted by Josephson (2000)). Second, abduction requires non-monotonic reasoning about a set of commonsense imp”

Digital technologies and artificial intelligence’s present and foreseeable impact on lawyering, judging, policing and law enforcement (2015, methodology): “Thus abduction is a kind of theory-forming or inter-pretive inference’ (Josephson and Josephson 1994: 5), with this pattern ( ibid .)”
