  A continuation of the multi-volume A Practical Logic of Cognitive Systems , this book focuses on abduction. Here, abduction is construed as ignorance-preserving inference, in which conjecture plays a pivotal role. Abduction is a response to a cognitive target that cannot be hit on the basis of what the agent currently knows.
