There is no pure induction
K. Popper, The Myth of the Framework: In Defence of Science and Rationality (Routledge, 1995) has the following statement:
We do not discover new facts or new effects by copying them, or by inferring them inductively from observation, or by any other method of instruction by the environment. We use, rather, the method of trial and the elimination of error. As Ernst Gombrich ( http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/gombric.htm ) says, `making comes before matching': the active production of a new trial structure comes before its exposure to eliminating tests.
However, “making” is thanks to our brains that are the gifts of evolution. That is, ‘new trial structures’ come from our brains that are imbued with laws of Nature (internalized natural laws). It is simple-minded to think that ‘production’ is just active as Popper asserts.
Thus, we should not simply say, “there is no induction,” but it is probably better to say that induction has been done phylogenetically.
