A hypotheses has to be conceptually integrated into other concepts. Conceptual integration is something of greater complexity than shallow deduction or probability chains. While reasoning chains are needed in conceptual integration, conceptual integration is to a chain of reasoning what a multi dimension structure is to a one dimensional chain. I will try to come up with some examples.
