چکیده

This paper has a twofold goal‎: ‎The first is to study how the inferential zigzag can be activated‎, ‎even computationally‎, ‎trying to analyse what kind of reasoning consists of‎, ‎where its 'mechanism' is rooted‎, ‎how it can be activated since without all this it can just seem a metaphysical idea‎. ‎The second‎, ‎not so deeply different‎ - ‎as it can be presumed at a first view‎ - ‎but complementary‎, ‎is to explore the subject's link with the old thought on conjectures of the 15th Century Theologist and Philosopher Nicolaus Cusanus‎ ‎who was the first thinker consciously and extensively using conjectures‎.
