Synthetic
A sentence, proposition, thought, or judgement is synthetic if it is neither logically (analytically) true, or false; generally, synthetic claims are said to be empirical in that they are discovered through experiment and observation, and in that "a bare conception of the subject" will not make it immediately obvious that the predicate applies to it.
