But at some point there's like an eel talking about his brother committing suicide… The whole premiss is about a 50-year-old woman retreating to the woods.

A premise or premiss is a statement that an argument claims will induce or justify a conclusion. It is an assumption that something is true.

3, from the Chronicle. The historian Roger A. Mason describes the central premiss of Buchanan's De Jure Regni, which is at odds with ideas of absolute monarchy; > Buchanan expounded a theory of popular sovereignty whose central premiss was > that kings were appointed by the people to perform on their behalf a set of > well-defined functions. It followed that if they failed to carry out their > duties satisfactorily, thereby breaking the contract entered into by terms > of their coronation oath, the people had the right to depose them in favour > of someone more able to fulfil the duties of the royal office. Monarchy, in > short, was an elective form of government and kings were accountable to > those who elected them.

Sources of law are the origins of laws, the binding rules that enable any state to govern its territory. The term "source of law" may sometimes refer to the sovereign or to the seat of power from which the law derives its validity."Sources of law" may also mean any premiss of a legal reasoning.

This literal approach is a reflection of striving to have a concrete and thus scientific method of studying and explaining the world they live in. One of his classic works in the anthropology of religion and of other traditional knowledge systems is his 1968 essay in support of neo- Tylorians (followers of Edward Burnett Tylor), who took causal statements of someone in a pre-literate society at face value. Horton notes that "the historian of ideas, operating on the premiss that 'things are what they seem', has been forging ahead most successfully with his interpretation of the European, thought-tradition; but the [orthodox] social anthropologist, operating on the premiss that 'things are not what they seem', has had little success in explaining why pre-literate peoples have the kind of ideas they do." He argued, for instance, that animism should be taken at face value without the rationalisation that it symbolically represents a social or political structure.

The derivation in Kripke's 'Identity and Necessity' is in three steps: :(1) ∀x nec(x = x) :(2) ∀x∀y(x = y → (nec(x = x) → nec(x = y))) :(3) ∀x∀y(x = y → nec(x = y)) The first premiss is simply postulated: every object is identical to itself. The second is an application of the principle of substitutivity: if a = b, then a has all the properties b has, thus from Fa, infer Fb, where F is 'nec(a = --)'. The third follows by elementary predicate logic.

The Gunnel Gummeson case was the inspiration of a novel by Gert Holmertz: Muren i Maimana ('Maimana Wall') SAK förlag/Premiss förlag (2004). In this novel, the theory about Gunnel Gummeson having survived the death of Peter Winant and of having been sold as the daughter-in-law to the clan chief Kala Khan is fictionalized. In the novel, Gunnel Gummeson is raped by the son of Kala Khan after the murder of Winant and, after having become pregnant, is forced to marry her attacker. She is offered to return to Sweden on condition that she leave her child behind, but unable to leave her child, she accept to remain in Afghanistan, and grows accustom to living in purdah, thereby never discovered by any search team.

Gerwarth, Robert The Bismarck Myth: Weimar Germany and the Legacy of the Iron Chancellor, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005 page 165. Bracher wrote that the success of the modern Federal Republic had nothing to do with the "Bismarckian tradition" and stated that the "destruction of the state of 1871" was "the premiss and starting point for a new German state altogether". Bracher maintained that "the second, finally successful democracy in Germany is unimaginable, impossible without the ultimate failure of the Reich of 1871". In an essay published in 1976 entitled "The Role of Hitler: Perspectives of Interpretation", Bracher argued that Hitler was too often underrated in his own time, and that those historians who rejected the totalitarian paradigm in favor of the fascist paradigm were in danger of making the same mistake.
