{"iri":"http://www.estrellaproject.org/lkif-core/expression.owl#Expectation","label":"Expectation","definition":"An expectation is a predictive belief held on purely logical grounds, i.e. not based on direct external evidence, like an observation or a statement by another agent. It is also often characterized as a \"belief about the future\", but this isn't very helpful since one may also hold expectations about the (yet unknown) past. The theory of evolution is for instance a fertile ground for predictions about the existence of past species, and therefore at the same a predictor of future observations.","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","source":"legal","source_url":"https://github.com/RinkeHoekstra/lkif-core"}
