Glossary
While the SIG is attempting to closely stick to the common meaning of terminology, there are cases where those terms may be used in the CTI field in a way that is not matching common sense and colloquial use. in those case the definitions will not match the word use in common language and we have attempted to properly denote that.
| Term | Definition | References/Additional resources |
|---|---|---|
| Axiom | An axiom or postulate is a statement that is taken to be true, to serve as a premise or starting point for further reasoning and arguments. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axiom |
| Hypothesis | A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis |
| Theory | A theory is a contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalizing thinking, or the results of such thinking. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory |
