entailment

1. (countable, uncountable)The act of logically entailing, the state of being entailed, or something that is entailed.

   Entailment does not imply causation: if a set of premisses entail a conclusion, that does not mean (necessarily) that they cause that conclusion to be true.

   An argument hinges upon entailment whereas an if-then sentence hinges upon implication.
