Interactive Hypotheses: Towards a Dialogical Foundation of Surrogate Reasoning

hypothesis, interaction, scientific modeling, dialogic, surrogate reasoningAbstract
The aim of this paper is to propose a logical justification for the process of surrogate reasoning in modeling practice in science. To this end, we understand hypothesis generation as the creation of an interactive, formal dialogue between the model and the target system. In order to describe this idea from a logical point of view, we will rely on the pragmatic approach of Dialogic as the ideal framework to illustrate logical interactions.
