This requires different logical machinery: Not truth-preservation → Constraint-type preservation under transformation Not validity → Classification coherence across evidence Not soundness → Action-consequence alignment The goal: Formal system for reasoning about what … Continue reading Deferential Realism: A Logic of Constraints
