if i’m understanding right: - alief: you intuitively feel this to be true, but are not intellectually convinced that it is true. you may behave as if it is true but don’t necessarily endorse that behavior - belief: you may or may not intuitively feel this to be true, but you are intellectually convinced that it is true. you generally behave as if it is true and endorse doing so - celief: you do not intuitively feel this to be true, nor are you intellectually convinced that it is true, but you behave as if it is true regardless for pragmatic reasons (though you may not necessarily endorse this)
Alief—I don’t really “believe X in my head” but act as if I believed X.
Anti-alief—I really “believe X in my head” but don’t act as if I believed X. (That’s at least one way of reversing it.) (Although this could also be seen as “alieving not-X”.)
Celief (AFAIU) - I have good reasons to have high credence in X but can’t see the gears/am not sufficiently capable of assessing the claims on my own, so I have a substantial model uncertainty. This may be accompanied by different degrees of “acting as if believing X/not-X (with some probability)”.
Is a “celief” in something meaningfully different from an “alief” in its opposite?

This definition seems so vague and broad as to be unusuable.
