The result of this stage is an And/Or proof tree, which we shall call the explanation tree for the training instance. The explanation tree indicates how the training instance satisfies PosInst(positive instance), and forms the basis for generalization by inferring sufficient conditions for satisfying PosInst. 2, record 1, English, - explanation%20tree

An inference rule that, given one or more assertions, produces an assertion that logically implies the original assertions. An inductive inference rule is a falsity-preserving transformation of assertions. (cf. deductive inference rule). 1, record 2, English, - inductive%20inference%20rule

Here are a few examples of such rules : Dropping conditions... Turning constants into variables... Adding options... Climbing generalization tree... 1, record 2, English, - inductive%20inference%20rule
