Function infer_chain 

Source 
pub fn infer_chain(
    premise: Likeliness,
    rule_reliabilities: &[Likeliness],
) -> Likeliness
Expand description

Inference along a chain of default rules from a premise: the weakest link, then attenuated by the number of inferential steps beyond the first. Longer defeasible chains weaken — the qualitative analogue of multiplying probabilities along a path. An empty rule list returns the premise unchanged.
