The Isolated Pentagon Rule as a Defeasible Generalisation
A research poster from the School of Settled Matters reads the isolated pentagon rule for fullerene cages as a defeasible generalisation, and argues that the metal-filled and chlorinated cages reported to break it each name a defeater by mechanism, so that they fix the rule's scope to empty, neutral, unadorned cages rather than refute it.
