FOR A GOAL CONCILIATION THEORY: ANTE-FACTUAL ABDUCTIVE HYPOTHESES AND PROACTIVE MODELLING
Based on Sperber and Wilson's (1986/1995) relevance theory, I outline a goal conciliation theory in this paper in order to describe and explain the formulation and the evaluation of ante-factual abductive hypotheses in proactive contexts, claiming that the individual produces an inference to the best solution in these cases. I present this conceptual architecture in four stages-goal designing, and hypothesis formulation, execution and checking-with an example in which an individual intends to open his own locked front door. Finally, I evaluate goal self and hetero-conciliation processes in contexts of categorical, biconditional, conditional, enabling, and tautological ante-factual abductive hypotheses.
