  induction
       
           A method of proving statements about well-ordered
          sets.  If S is a well-ordered set with ordering "<", and we
          want to show that a property P holds for every element of S,
          it is sufficient to show that, for all s in S,
       
          	IF for all t in S, t < s => P(t) THEN P(s)
       
          I.e. if P holds for anything less than s then it holds for s.
          In this case we say P is proved by induction.
       
          The most common instance of proof by induction is induction
          over the natural numbers where we prove that some property
          holds for n=0 and that if it holds for n, it holds for n+1.
       
          (In fact it is sufficient for "<" to be a well-founded
          partial order on S, not necessarily a well-ordering of S.)

              time, as the affair now stands, the induction of
              your acquaintance.                    --Beau. & Fl.
        [1913 Webster]

                                                    Hamilton.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Induction is the process by which we conclude that
              what is true of certain individuals of a class, is
              true of the whole class, or that what is true at
              certain times will be true in similar circumstances
              at all times.                         --J. S. Mill.

        preceding one; -- called also successive induction.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     6. (Physics) The property by which one body, having

     Induction coil, an apparatus producing induced currents of
        great intensity. It consists of a coil or helix of stout
        insulated copper wire, surrounded by another coil of very
        fine insulated wire, in which a momentary current is
        induced, when a current (as from a voltaic battery),
        passing through the inner coil, is made, broken, or
        varied. The inner coil has within it a core of soft iron,
        and is connected at its terminals with a condenser; --
        called also inductorium, and Ruhmkorff's coil.
  
     Induction pipe, Induction port, or Induction valve, a
        pipe, passageway, or valve, for leading or admitting a
        fluid to a receiver, as steam to an engine cylinder, or

        is developed in a body susceptible to magnetic effects
        when brought under the influence of a magnet.
  
     Magneto-electric induction, the influence by which a magnet
        excites electric currents in closed circuits.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Logical induction, (Philos.), an act or method of reasoning
        from all the parts separately to the whole which they
        constitute, or into which they may be united collectively;
        the operation of discovering and proving general
        propositions; the scientific method.
  
     Philosophical induction, the inference, or the act of
        inferring, that what has been observed or established in
        respect to a part, individual, or species, may, on the
        ground of analogy, be affirmed or received of the whole to
        which it belongs. This last is the inductive method of
        Bacon. It ascends from the parts to the whole, and forms,
        from the general analogy of nature, or special
        presumptions in the case, conclusions which have greater
        or less degrees of force, and which may be strengthened or
        weakened by subsequent experience and experiment. It
        relates to actual existences, as in physical science or
        the concerns of life. Logical induction is founded on the
        necessary laws of thought; philosophical induction, on the
        interpretation of the indications or analogy of nature.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Deduction.
  
     Usage: Induction, Deduction. In induction we observe a
            sufficient number of individual facts, and, on the
            ground of analogy, extend what is true of them to
            others of the same class, thus arriving at general
            principles or laws. This is the kind of reasoning in
            physical science. In deduction we begin with a general
            truth, which is already proven or provisionally
            assumed, and seek to connect it with some particular
            case by means of a middle term, or class of objects,
            known to be equally connected with both. Thus, we
            bring down the general into the particular, affirming
            of the latter the distinctive qualities of the former.
            This is the syllogistic method. By induction Franklin
            established the identity of lightning and electricity;
            by deduction he inferred that dwellings might be
            protected by lightning rods.
