abduction
     
         The process of {inference} to the best explanation.
     
        "Abduction" is sometimes used to mean just the generation of
        hypotheses to explain observations or conclusionsm, but the
        former definition is more common both in philosophy and
        computing.
     
        The {semantics} and the implementation of abduction cannot be
        reduced to those for {deduction}, as explanation cannot be
        reduced to implication.
     
        Applications include fault diagnosis, plan formation and
        {default reasoning}.
     
        {Negation as failure} in {logic programming} can both be given
        an abductive interpretation and also can be used to implement
        abduction.  The abductive semantics of negation as failure
        leads naturally to an {argumentation}-theoretic interpretation
        of default reasoning in general.
