Inductive argument proceeds from :
Particulars to Universals
Inductive reasoning begins with particular observed instances and arrives at a general rule that covers all cases of that kind.
For example, after observing that many individual metals expand on heating, we conclude that all metals expand on heating. The movement is from particulars to a universal law.
Deduction works the other way, applying universals to particulars, while moving from particulars to particulars is only analogy and does not yield a general law.
Hence, Particulars to Universals.
