#hypothesis.concept__possibility  a tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena; "a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory"; "he proposed a fresh theory of alkalis that later was accepted in chemical practices"
  supertype:  concept__conception__construct  an abstract or general idea inferred or derived from specific instances
  part of:  theory
  subtype:  theoretical_account__theoreticalaccount__model__framework  a simplified description of a complex entity or process; "the computer program was based on a model of the circulatory and respiratory systems"
     subtype:  computer_simulation__simulation  (computer science) the technique of representing the real world by a computer program; "a simulation should imitate the internal processes and not merely the results of the thing being simulated"
     subtype:  mean_sun  a theoretical sun that moves along the celestial equator at a constant speed and completes its annual course in the same amount of time the real sun takes at variable speeds
     subtype:  Copernican_system  Copernicus' astronomical model in which the Earth rotates around the sun
     subtype:  Ptolemaic_system  Ptolemy's model of the universe with the Earth at the center
     subtype:  stochastic_process  a statistical process involving a number of random variables depending on a variable parameter (which is usually time)
        subtype:  Markov_process__Markoff_process  a simple stochastic process in which the distribution of future states depends only on the present state and not on how it arrived in the present state
           subtype:  Markov_chain__Markoff_chain  a Markov process for which the parameter is discrete time values
        subtype:  stationary_stochastic_process  a stochastic process in which the distribution of the random variables is the same for any value of the variable parameter

  subtype:  speculation  a hypothesis that has been formed by speculating or conjecturing (usually with little hard evidence); "speculations about the outcome of the election"; "he dismissed it as mere conjecture"
  subtype:  supposal__assumption__supposition  a hypothesis that is taken for granted; "any society is built upon certain assumptions"
     subtype:  conclusion  an intuitive assumption; "jump to a conclusion"
        subtype:  non_sequitur.conclusion__nonsequitur  (logic) a conclusion that does not follow from the premises
     subtype:  fundament__basis__basi__base__foundation__groundwork__cornerstone  the fundamental assumptions underlying an explanation; "the whole argument rested on a basis of conjecture"
     subtype:  given__presumption  an assumption that is taken for granted
     subtype:  basic_assumption__basicassumption__constatation__self-evident_truth  an assumption that is basic to an argument
