Position paper argues grounded abduction is the missing reasoning leap for LLMs
bibryam · x · 2026-09-26
A position paper frames LLM reasoning through three modes: induction (case + result -> rule) and deduction (rule + case -> result), where LLMs are already strong, versus abduction (rule + result -> case), which it argues remains the missing jump. Grounded abduction — inferring explanatory causes — is presented as the key capability gap LLMs must close to reason genuinely.
