Conjecture: A statement that we believe is always true because we have seen many examples of it and no counterexamples. Postulate: A statement that we believe is always true because people generally agree it is true, but without proof. Theorem: A statement that we believe is always true because we prove it by a series of other definitions, postulates, and theorems.
