> Irrespective of all such debates on the limitations for rationally, one may consider a decision rational when it satisfies condition X. \_\_\_\_\_\_ in this paper a decision is considered rational when it satisfies condition X.

What is the best choice for the blank above? The first sentence talks about a possibility (that of considering a decision rational when it satisfies condition X), and the second sentence says that in the present paper that possibility is taken as the basis of the line of argument.

So, what I am looking for is a transition word for such kind of cases when those sentences are coming in a row. I know of many [transition words](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/connecting-sentences/) but like to know the best choice for cases like the one above.

So far, I am hesitant between "likewise", "thus", "correspondingly", and "accordingly". I would appreciate any new suggestion or any view on which of the mentioned linking words are the best and why.
