Chapter 4 Inference
Inference thinking is natural to humans, if someone walks up to us with a gun in there are hand we are going to assume they mean us harm. Inference is a way of gathering information, due to other things that may give to the ultimate finding. It is important to remember that inference is not factual. Just because one may infer something is going to happen, it may not happen at all, the exact opposite might happen.

Reasoning - act of using reason to derive a conclusion from certain premises. There are two main methods to reach a conclusion. One is deductive reasoning, in which given true premises, the conclusion must follow (the conclusion cannot be false). This sort of reasoning is non-implicative - it does not increase one's knowledge base, since the conclusion is self-contained in the premises. A classical example of deductive reasoning is syllogism.
Conclusion - decision: a position or opinion or judgment reached after consideration; "a decision unfavorable to the opposition"; "his conclusion took the evidence into account"; "satisfied with the panel's determination"; an intuitive assumption; "jump to a conclusion".
Guess - think: expect, believe, or suppose; put forward, of a guess, in spite of possible refutation.
Explanation - a statement that makes something comprehensible by describing the relevant structure or operation or circumstances etc.
Imagine - form a mental image of something that is not present or that is not the case.
Infer-deduce: reason by deduction; establish by deduction.
Inference - the reasoning involved in drawing a conclusion or making a logical judgment on the basis of circumstantial evidence and prior conclusions rather than on the basis of direct observation.
Interpret - make sense of; assign a meaning to; "What message do you see in this letter?"; "How do you interpret his behavior?"
