angenommenes

Angenommenes is a term encountered mainly in German-language technical writing to designate things that are assumed within a given context. It is formed from the verb annehmen (“to assume” or “to accept”) and the participle angenommene/angenommenes, used as a nominal or adjectival expression to refer to the assumed elements of an argument, model, or inquiry. The form is not a widely standardized dictionary entry, but it appears in discussions where it is useful to distinguish what is taken as given from what is to be demonstrated or tested.

In logic and mathematics, angesprochenes or related nominalizations are used to point to the starting premises or parameters on which a deduction is based. The angedeutete Angenommene serves as the basis for deriving conclusions, predicting outcomes, or calibrating models. This usage emphasizes that these items are accepted for the sake of analysis rather than proven within the scope of the current argument.

In the sciences and engineering, Angenommenes commonly refers to assumed values, boundaries, or conditions that simplify analysis or enable modeling. Analysts may distinguish between Angenommenes (assumptions kept constant for the study) and the results themselves, which depend on those assumptions.

In philosophy and linguistics, the term can surface in discussions of presuppositions and hypothetical commitments within discourse, where what is assumed affects interpretation and argumentative force.
