I use the shorthand “framework” for basically any interface layer between the mind and reality. There are probably more sophisticated philosophical and psych terms for this, but I don’t have them right now. I imagine them as layered with the more core ones being obviously more foundational to the whole set of increasingly more above it. If the belief in gravity is a fairly foundational framework, then the assumption that a ball will fall to the ground when dropped rests somewhere eventually on top of that.
