Hypothetical structures

Hypothetical structures refer to concepts or ideas that are based on assumptions or possibilities rather than established facts. They are often used in discussions, research, or problem-solving to explore what could happen under certain conditions or scenarios. For example, in science, a hypothetical structure might involve a proposed model of a molecule that could exist based on current understanding, even if it hasn't been observed yet. These structures help in understanding and predicting outcomes, guiding innovation, and fostering critical thinking by encouraging exploration of “what if” situations.
