27. does
 it work? Why
28. How pattern of
 relationships What elements + Reasoning Outcome observed
 phenomenon
29. What elements Likely
 Outcome observed
 phenomenon Induction How pattern of
 relationships + Discovering patterns
30. Certain
 Outcome observed
 phenomenon Deduction What How elements pattern of
 relationships + Cause and effect Certain
 Outcome observed
 phenomenon
32. What elements + Abduction How Desired
 Outcome pattern of
 relationships observed
 phenomenon Evidence-based problem solving
33. What’s wrong
 with induction?
35. Desired
 Outcome What elements How pattern of
 relationships observed
 phenomenon + Design Abduction Creative exploration
36. Read widely How to get better at abductive analysis
37. The more explanations you understand the more
 new explanations
 you can find.
