POSTULATE (30) — Term from SntMaster Dictionary

POSTULATE (30)

ScnMaster

generate or think a concept. A concept is a thought, and to postulate infers a requirement that something is something or that it isn't something or that some action is going to take place. In other words, postulate infers conditions and actions rather than just plain thought. (Note to translators: Lacking a proper English word for "causative thinking," the word postulate has been used in slight difference to its English definition. If there is a word in your language which means "self-impulsion" or "creation of a thought," use that instead of postulate.) —Fundamentals of Thought Glossary Final approval 5.2.90
