Dependence coherentism is fundamentally defined by its stance on the role of belief in epistemic justification, specifically rejecting the necessity of beliefs as the sole source of justification [1] and asserting that justification can exist independently of the act of believing [2]. Furthermore, it characterizes the structure of justification as a relationship between a belief and other propositions [3] or alternative sources like perceptual experiences [4].
