SCIENCE, MATH, ART, REASONING, PERCEIVING, THINKING


Science is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

Mathematics seeks to use logic to understand and often prove relationships between quantities and objects which may relate to no real phenomena.

Art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination.

Reasoning is the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way.

Inductive reasoning is a logical process in which multiple premises, all believed true or found true most of the time, are combined to obtain a specific conclusion of probability.

Deductive reasoning is a logical process in which a conclusion is based on the concordance of multiple premises that are generally assumed to be true.

Abductive reasoning (also called abduction, abductive inference, or retroduction) is formulating an inference based upon imagination. In abductive reasoning, unlike in deductive reasoning, the premises do not guarantee the conclusion.

Formal Logic is reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity.

Perceive is to become aware of, know, or identify by means of the senses.

The senses are any of the faculties, as sight, hearing, smell, taste, or touch, by which humans and animals perceive stimuli originating from outside or inside the body.

Nonsense is anything that has not been and cannot be observed by one or more of the senses.

Thinking is the process of using one's mind to consider or reason or imagine something.

To imagine is to form a mental image or concept.

Verifiable is that which may be perceived with one or more of the senses.
