inference mode of

The Peircean mode of a reified gmeow:InferenceCommitment — a gmeow:InferenceMode value. Functional: a commitment has exactly one mode (a step that is both inductive and abductive is two commitments). The reified counterpart of the flat gmeow:inferenceMode; the value scopes the abduction / analogy SHACL shapes.

Structure

Property shape: object property; gmeow:InferenceCommitment -> gmeow:InferenceMode; functional

Practical Pattern

Use gmeow:inferenceModeOf from gmeow:InferenceCommitment to gmeow:InferenceMode when the relationship itself belongs in the native GMEOW graph.
