claimBeliefs can be categorized based on their source or root, such as perceptual, deductive, inductive, memorial, or testimonial.
claimBelief sources include perception (e.g., seeing a chair), deduction (e.g., concluding q from p entails q), induction (e.g., inferring future gravity from past gravity), and memory (e.g., remembering past events).
claimBeliefs can be based on multiple sources simultaneously, such as being partly testimonially-based and partly perceptually-based, or partly inductively-based and partly memorially-based.
