    • 1963, Iqbal - Volume 12, page 32:
      Extra-cognitive principles of selections, practical considerations, life-motives and a number of other criteria are to be brought forward to justify the retention and selection of one view in preference to others. Thus multilogism inevitably leads to pragmatism, and must, in the end, finish itself in extra-cognitive bases of the forms of apprehension.

      One might speak of networks as characterized by multilogism, both at the macrolevel of their connectivity and in the microlevel interactions of each node in the network.
