non-assumption
Not taking granted
Non-assumption is the deliberate avoidance of taking something for granted.
The term appears in technical and philosophical contexts where distinguishing what is assumed from what is demonstrated matters: The principle of non-assumption requires us to prove each step.
In everyday use, it suggests careful neutrality—not presuming outcomes or motives before evidence arrives.
