Abstract

This paper is intended to draw attention to a literature in Philosophy that would be of great use and interest to researchers attempting to simulate non-deductive reasoning. Two models of such reasoning are discussed, and the kernel role of the concept of explanation common to them both is revealed. Finally, the relevance of the conceptual insights to computing by appealing to Scriven's comprehension theorem which facilitates a link between the concepts of explanation, understanding and processing efficiency under certain constraints.
