Talk:induction

According to the present entry, in logic "induction" can be defined as the act of derivation of general principles from specific instances.

Can it also mean the outcome of derivation of general principles from specific instances? Or, if not, is there another (related) word for that? ("Inductate", for instance? Cf. )

 * The sense used in that paper would just be induce. I cant rule out a word like inductate appearing in a narrow field of science, but we'd need a good reason why that field can't just use induce. — Soap — 11:03, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
