    • 2005, Ronnie Cann, Ruth Kempson, Lutz Marten, The Dynamics of Language, an Introduction, p. 256
      The significance of such a step is that it is not morphologically triggered: it is a step of abduction, and what is required here is a meta-level process of reasoning.

    yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! abduction is a metalogic! because there aren't limits in any abduction reasoning; as imaginative powers are in line with the "cosmical" number of possibilities within our neuronal networks, that is, almost infinite, it is enough to include the "prefix-" "META" TO LOGIC to understand what i think is the core of the logic of abduction. Abduction is thus a metalogic. As this kamikaze blog, or abduction-proned blog is a metablog. As any mixed culture is a metaculture. As a interdisciplinary team is a metateam. I like also to relate abduction with three dimensioanality (non-euclidean geometry); induction with the (euclidean) "virtual" plane (see "planiland" video by Dr. Quantum); and deduction as a line (a route, for example)

    (determining most plausible explanation) ¡that is! I like very much that too. The most plausible explanation. Some days ago i heard maybe the most single and powerful sentence in tv along all my life. One woman said: "Pequeñas Soluciones para Grandes Problemas". "Small, single solutions for big problems". Petit solutions pour le grand problemes" Picola soluchione per le grandi problemi" Maybe the difficulties to understand the power of this single sentence, are related with our own lineal bipolar abduction; as shown trought remnants of fear among a part of people; people that I relate with senior lefty intelectuals that still didn't take the "2.0-Boat"; that is, people still not connected within web 2.0...¿don't you?
