Paragraph 1 | Just as an attribute A may (as we saw) be atomically connected with a subject B, so its disconnexion may be atomic. |
Paragraph 2 | all A is C, |
Paragraph 3 | no B is C, |
Paragraph 4 | therefore no B is A. |
Paragraph 5 | Or if it is B which has a genus D, we have |
Paragraph 6 | all B is D, |
Paragraph 7 | no D is A, |
Paragraph 8 | therefore no B is A, by syllogism; |
Paragraph 9 | and the proof will be similar if both A and B have a genus. |
Paragraph 10 | Hence it is clear that one thing may be atomically disconnected from another, and we have stated when and how this is possible. |
