Inference is the intellectual process of drawing conclusions based on evidence and reasoning. It's about moving from what is known, or assumed to be true, to what is new or previously unrecognized. Think of it as the way we make sense of the world, from everyday decisions to groundbreaking scientific discoveries. This process is fundamental to how we learn, adapt, and make progress.
