a Each hypothesis is dependent upon other hypotheses that are related to molecular mechanisms. b A hypothesis in question can be verified only at the system-level analysis of molecular interaction network behaviors, c a set of hypotheses and their dependency tree where each element is also a set (e.g., \(H_1 = \left\{ {h_1^0,h_1^1,h_1^2, \cdots ,h_1^n} \right\}\)). In massive and exhaustive search of hypothesis space, a set of hypotheses, rather than a single hypothesis, is generated to cover specific hypothesis space and verified.
