This is a nice, simple model for thinking. But I notice that both logic and empiricism sometimes have “shortcuts” — non-obvious ways to shorten, or otherwise substantially robustify, the chain of (logic/evidence). It’s reasonable to imagine that intuition/rationality would also have various shortcuts; some that would correspond to logical/empirical shortcuts, and some that would be different. Communication is more difficult when two people are using chains of reasoning that differ substantially in what shortcuts they use. You could get two valid arguments on a question, and be able to recognize the validity of each, but be almost completely at a loss when trying to combine those two into an overall judgement.
Oops, I guess that was more of a comment than a review. At review-level, what I meant to say was: nice foundation, but it’s clear this doesn’t exhaust the question. Which is good.
