Frame of discernment

A frame of discernment is a way to represent all possible states or outcomes related to a specific situation or decision. In general knowledge, it’s like creating a list of everything that could be true or false about a subject. For instance, if you’re determining the weather, the frame might include possibilities like “sunny,” “cloudy,” “rainy,” or “snowy.” By defining these possibilities, you can better assess information, make decisions, and understand the range of potential scenarios related to whatever you are analyzing. It helps clarify and organize knowledge to draw better conclusions.
