They are heuristic fictions (heuristische Fiktionen), the sole function of which is to serve as principles regulative of the understanding in its systematic employment.
They should be taken only as heuristic principles; the extent of their truth, even in the empirical realm, cannot be determined by the a priori method that is alone proper to a Critique of Pure Reason.
But he proceeds to add that this objective validity consists exclusively in their heuristic function.
His determination of the validity of these postulates, however, implies the position to be assigned to the causal law and therefore not to those heuristic hypotheses.
Postulates" are only corollaries from the inductive fundamental form of all hypothesis construction, and correspond essentially to what we have called general or heuristic hypotheses.
A general hypothesis serves every special hypothesis as a heuristic principle.
Logic, as methodology, is not an a priori construction, but has its genesis in the growth of science itself and in the discovery of those tests and criteria of truth which are found to possess an actual heuristic or evidential value.

It is at this juncture that the heuristic condition applies: the more animals prey on a certain group, this group will either find survival strategies (adaptive or other kinds), or indeed cease to be available as food for others.
The same heuristic strategy can be applied to the development of literacy.
However, literacy lacks heuristic dimensions, is slow, and of limited interactivity.
The literate argument of science and multimedia's non-linear heuristic path to science are fundamentally different.
In addition, the mechanisms assuring the distributed nature of the market in the global economy insert other literacies, in this case, the literacy of machines endowed with search and heuristic capabilities independent of literacy.
Over time, actions became simpler while languages acquired the complexity of the heuristic experience.
The most serious consequence of the present imperfection of the material aids to Heuristic is the discouragement which is sure to be felt by many able men who know their worth, and have some sense of the due proportion of effort and reward.
The instruments of Heuristic are being continually perfected, before our eyes, in two ways.
But Heuristic is still difficult, because these conditions are, unfortunately, still very far from being adequately realised.
Among the indispensable instruments of Heuristic must thus be reckoned bibliographical repertories of historical literature, as well as repertories of catalogues of original documents.
