The relationship between belief and true belief is defined by reliabilist epistemology, which evaluates the justification of a belief based on whether the cognitive process that produced it reliably results in true beliefs, as described in [1], [2], [3], and [4]. Furthermore, [5] highlights that the status of a belief as a true belief is distinct from the justification process used to arrive at it.
