Gary R., List: Quick thought ...
"The irritation of doubt causes a struggle to attain a state of belief." (CP 5.374) The first phase of inquiry is abduction, which begins when an established habit of expectation (3ns) is confounded by an act of observation (2ns), which produces a feeling of surprise (1ns). The last phase of inquiry is induction, which concludes when a new belief-habit (3ns) is NOT confounded by any acts of observation (2ns), which produces a feeling of satisfaction (1ns).
