Pretty sure the word you’re looking for is “implicent”

“I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.”

"Extrapolate" is the act of extending the range of a set of data by following the trend set by the existing points.

"Interpolate" is the act of obtaining a value intermediate between existing data points by approximating where along the curve the new point would be.

What is the process you want to describe with the word you seek?

Exactly what I was going to say. Too bad you didn't work for some big computer company back in the day. Who knows where you might be, right now.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Maybe the word from one of the other threads recently, "micturate."

Are you looking for something that "sounds like" or is synonymous to extrapolate?

You might want to masticate a bit on the outcome from using such a word in this manner.

When I masticate, my lower mandible gets really tired. Back in the day I could masticate all day long, but now I have to take breaks.
