The Science Of Deduction & Deductive Reasoning
After watching the Sherlock series on BBC; I searched a bit for the science of deduction and whether there are anyone existing theories that let you do the effective deduction. But it looks like there aren't any. While we know that what we see in the Sherlock series is pure imagination; do you think it's possible to do that?
I believe yes! If my memory serves me correctly, it was the Deep Blue computer that used this technique to calculate opponent's next move and based its current decision on the best possible outcome it'd expect from the opponent. It's possible, but it may not be possible for the human brain. We're limited by the number of calculations we can do and the number of memory areas we can access effectively to unlock all the information required for the logical reasoning.
Do you think there exists something called the 'science of deduction'? If yes, can we come up with simple examples where this technique can be applied? I'm quite sure if we can learn something from this discussion; it will help all of us ๐
