POSTULATE (30)
ScnMaster
generate or think a
concept
. A
concept
is a
thought
, and to
postulate
infers a requirement that something is something or that it isn't something or that some
action
is going to take
place
. In other words,
postulate
infers
conditions
and actions rather than just plain
thought
. (
Note
to translators: Lacking a proper
English
word
for "
causative
thinking
," the
word
postulate
has been used in slight difference to its
English
definition
. If there is a
word
in your
language
which means "
self
-impulsion" or "creation of a
thought
,"
use
that instead of
postulate
.)
