Deduction is derived from induction?
Hello Rabbi.
The claim that humans are mortal and that therefore every single human being is mortal is a deductive inference.
Does the following deductive inference originate from induction?
After all, it can be concluded that humans are mortal only after observing the death of a number of people. It is impossible to observe the death of all humans, but rather to predict death in the future.
thanks.

Indeed. That is precisely Mill's appeal to deduction. Its great assumption is a result of induction.
In other words, what is necessary in deduction is only the inference of the conclusion from the premises. The premises themselves are not necessary.
