About Predictive Deduction
The logic underlying intuitive decision-making

Of the three kinds of inferential reasoning -- induction, deduction and abduction -- only deductive inference is theoretically reliable for confirming predictions used in practical decision making. The logical proof that predictive deduction is possible advances epistemology, logic, and philosophy of science, but this site also presents predictive deduction as a step-by-step analytic tool that anyone can apply to prediction and decision-making.
