Philosophy

Although Gaboardi's analysis of collective beliefs in the disciplinary matrix is very valuable, I miss the role of abductive imagination (that is, the creative leap by which we propose bold hypotheses based on clues) that drives conceptual innovation. Introducing an “Imaginative Matrix” with inspiring analogies, visual diagrams, and spaces for controlled speculation is not merely an intellectual exercise, but a practical lever for accelerating ideas, making the community more flexible, and better anticipating scientific changes.
