Disbelief, Unbelief. Unbelief is a mere failure to
admit; disbelief is a positive rejection. One may be an
unbeliever in Christianity from ignorance or want of
inquiry; a unbeliever has the proofs before him, and
incurs the guilt of setting them aside. Unbelief is
usually open to conviction; disbelief is already
convinced as to the falsity of that which it rejects.
Men often tell a story in such a manner that we regard
everything they say with unbelief. Familiarity with the
worst parts of human nature often leads us into a
disbelief in many good qualities which really exist
among men.

belief revision
(foldoc) | belief revision
The area of theory change in which
preservation of the information in the theory to be changed
plays a key role.
A fundamental issue in belief revision is how to decide what
information to retract in order to maintain consistency, when
the addition of a new belief to a theory would make it
inconsistent. Usually, an ordering on the sentences of the
theory is used to determine priorities among sentences, so
that those with lower priority can be retracted. This
ordering can be difficult to generate and maintain.
The postulates of the AGM Theory for Belief Revision
describe minimal properties a revision process should have.
