Hi @Iris @olivia , i'm really interested by all your work ! I have one question and perhaps you have some bibliography in head to help me ? As a quantitative geographer/computer scientist i make #netlogo Agent Based Model simulation that need co-construction of models in an interdisciplinary context. The #abduction concept of #CharlesSandersPeirce is regulary cited as a way to express the new/original hypothesis that appear when you confront part of our mental model (based on empirical fact) of the world with outputs of this same reconstructed world into simulation.

Because i'm really interested by these links between the empirical world, the conceptual world, and the simulated world (as stated into Fig1 of https://shs.cairn.info/revue-francaise-de-sociologie-2014-4-page-689?lang=fr) do you know if there are some recent state of the art in Cognitive Science that cite CS Peirce works on abduction, linked to our everyday mental modeling process as scientist ?

Edit 1 : I found that you talk about Abduction in one of your article _Theory Before the Test: How to Build High-Verisimilitude Explanatory Theories in Psychological Science_ (Inference Best Explanation), and i also see on Standford (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/abduction/) that Abduction exist in two flavor, to "justifying" or "generating" hypothesis.

We have also mobiliize the concept of "equifinality" to formalize the fact that it exist multiple way to generate the same phenomenon (for example in archeology, Luke S Premo write about this, but we have the equivalent in geography). But when we modelize with archeologist, they don't have an infinity of hypothesis to test. So we understand abduction operation during building simulation as a way to confront these hypothesis. Because we cannot state that hypothesis is totally wrong, we started to build "familly of models" to encapsulate and sediment structured knowledge (An exemple of this approach in geography using Agent Based Models : https://www.mdpi.com/2079-8954/3/4/348 , also developped as Reusable Building Block in this paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1364815224000641)

Thanks !

Pragmatic Maxim • Et Sic Deinceps
• http://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2023/08/07/pragmatic-maxim-2/

The pragmatic maxim is a guideline for the practice of inquiry formulated by Charles Sanders Peirce. Serving as a practical recommendation or regulative principle in the normative science of logic, its function is to guide the conduct of thought toward the achievement of its purpose, advising the addressee on an optimal way of “attaining clearness of apprehension”.
