核心畫面

One way to hold inductive: in both of its uses, something arrives that was not there before, and it arrives from outside the thing itself. A general rule arrives out of the pile of separate cases you collected. A current arrives in a quiet coil because something nearby changed. Neither the rule nor the current was sitting inside waiting; each was brought in.

一種想法是:inductive 的兩個用法裡,都有東西「出現了」,而且不是它本來就有的。一堆分開的例子擺在一起,一條更多收起一種想法是:inductive 的兩個用法裡,都有東西「出現了」,而且不是它本來就有的。一堆分開的例子擺在一起,一條通則出現了。旁邊的東西一變,安靜的線圈裡電流出現了。通則不在任何一個例子裡面,電流也不在線圈裡等著。兩邊都是被外面的變化引出來的。這只是一個把兩個意思串起來的畫面,來源並沒有記下它們在歷史上的關係。

Two branches

推理:從例子長出通則

被引出來的是一條規則:一個一個的觀察擺在一起之後,通則才出現。

adjective · C1

Describing thinking that starts from particular facts or cases someone has actually observed and builds a general rule out of them. The rule that comes out is likely rather than proved, because the next case could still turn out differently.

歸納的

電磁:隔空被引出來

被引出來的是電流或作用力:兩邊沒有碰到,中間隔著空隙,效果照樣過去。

adjective · C1

Relating to induction in electricity and magnetism: the way a changing current, or a magnet that moves, can make a current or a force appear in something nearby without the two things touching.
