The Belief System is a set of beliefs that can be attributed to a particular instantiated Self. Beliefs are collected over time through engaging the user in Dialectic, a core capability of Epistemic Me. As beliefs accumulate over time they can then evidenced through an epistemic strategy outlined in Philosophies that have been attached to the Self.
A Belief Statement might capture a relatively ambiguous concept. A Belief Statement does not have an explicit relationship with an Observation Context, but one can be inferred, optionally.

A Falsifiable Belief is a belief that can be tested against observed evidence. For example, “Sleeping 8 hours per night reduces a person’s mortality as demonstrated through reduced Heart Rate Variability (HRV)” is a falsifiable belief.
A Causal Belief is a belief that is used to make predictions about the future state of the world. A Causal Belief has an explicit relationship with an Observation Context and it uses both historical evidence and counterfactuals to make a prediction about the future state of the world.
