The concept of justification is central to dependence coherentism, which defines how a subject's belief in a proposition is supported by other propositions [1], while also exploring the conditions under which justification can exist without belief [2] or through non-belief sources like perceptual experiences {fact:3, fact:4}.

claimDependence coherentism asserts that whenever a subject is justified in believing a proposition p1, the justification for believing p1 depends on the justification the subject has for believing some further propositions p1, p2, … pn.
claimDependence coherentism rests on the supposition that it is possible for a subject to have justification for a proposition without actually believing that proposition.
claimPerceptual experiences do not arbitrate between dependence coherentism and independence foundationalism because both theories appeal to perceptual experiences to explain why perceptual beliefs are justified.
claimDependence coherentism rejects the requirement that justification must come in the form of beliefs, allowing instead for justification to come from introspective and memorial evidence, or from suitable perceptual experiences and memory content.
