No, I mean hypothetical reasoning. It's a proof method in logic, for example I assume A = "I drink a cup of poison", and I already know that taking the poison will kill me, in other words I know that A imply B = "I will be dead". So I get B as a conclusion with A being an assumption. Modus ponens says that A and A ⇒ B entails B. But that requires A to be already true. Humans often use hypothetical reasoning, for example when we play Tic Tac Toe. We reason that a move leads to winning, by this reasoning we find the move desirable and then we play the move. I'm wondering if a similar process can be emulated in formal logic...
