Logic of Abduction

Abduction is a form of reasoning used to make the best possible guess based on available evidence when faced with uncertainty. It involves starting with an observation and then inferring the most likely explanation. For example, if you find wet grass, you might conclude that it rained, even if it isn’t the only possibility (like someone watering the lawn). Abduction helps in forming hypotheses and guiding further investigation by choosing the most plausible explanations based on what is known. It’s a common way of problem-solving in various fields, including science, law, and everyday decision-making.
