+===Difference between inductive and deductive==
+The main difference between inductive and deductive reasoning is that inductive reasoning aims at developing a theory while deductive reasoning aims at testing an existing theory.
-The learning and the transformation of the world-views of the participating stakeholders during the production of the Clusters and the Influence Trees is by far more valuable than the actual graphic snapshots of the problem situation being addressed through the [[Structured Democratic Dialogue Process]].
+In other words, inductive reasoning moves from specific observations to broad generalizations. Deductive reasoning works the other way around.
-More specifically, the use of [[Abductive Reasoning]] for the construction of the [[Influence Trees|Influence Tree]] and [[Inductive Reasoning]] for the construction of the [[Clusters|Clustering Process], emancipates the stakeholders from the prison of the extrapolation and perpetuation of the current situation. In this manner they can create futures and construct world-views that have never been.
