Evaluation of mood # 221.(Similarly,mutadis mutandis, formood # 231.)

Major premise: R is a complete and (complemented by S) a contingent cause of Q:

(i)If R, then Q;

(ii)if notR, not-then Q;

(iii)where: R is possible.

(iv)If (notR + notS), then notQ;

(v)if (R + notS), not-then notQ;

(vi)if (notR + S), not-then notQ;

(vii)where: (notR + notS) is possible.

Minor premise: P is a complete and necessary cause of Q:

(viii)If P, then Q;

(ix)if notP, not-then Q;

(x)where: P is possible.

(xi)If notP, then notQ;

(xii)if P, not-then notQ;

(xiii)where: notP is possible.

Putative conclusionis P a complete or (complemented by S) a partial cause of R?

(viii)where: (notQ + notP) is possible.

Minor premise: Q (complemented by S) is a partial and contingent cause of P:

(ix)If (Q + S), then P;

(x)if (notQ + S), not-then P;

(xi)if (Q + notS), not-then P;

(xii)where: (Q + S) is possible.

(xiv)if (Q + notS), not-then notP;

(xv)if (notQ + S), not-then notP;

(xvi)where: (notQ + notS) is possible.

Putative conclusion: is P (complemented by S) a cause of R?

NO! P is not implied to be a complete cause of R:

If P, then R?	denied by (ii) + (xiii);
if notP, not-then R	implied by (iii)+(ix), or (v)+(x), or (v)+(xiii)+(xvi);
where: P is possible	implied by (ii), or (iv), or (vii) + (xiii), or (ix) + (xii), or (xiv) or (xv).

Nor (complemented by S) a partial cause of R:

If (P + S), then R?	denied by (ii) + (xiii);
if (notP + S), not-then R	implied by (v) + (x);
if (P + notS), not-then R?	denied by (i) + (xiii);
where: (P + S) is possible	implied by (ii) + (xiii), or (vii) + (xiii), or (ix) + (xii), or (xv).

Nor a necessary cause of R:

If notP, then notR?	denied by (vi) + (ix);
if P, not-then notR	implied by (i)+(ix)+(xii), or (i)+(xiv), or (vii)+(xiii);
where: notP is possible	implied by (iii), or (vi), or (viii), or (x), or (xi), or (xiii) + (xvi).

Nor (complemented by S) a contingent cause of R:

If (notP + notS), then notR?	denied by (vi) + (ix);
if (P + notS), not-then notR	implied by (i) + (xiv);
if (notP + S), not-then notR?	denied by (v) + (ix);
where: (notP + notS) is possible	implied by (iii) + (ix), or (vi) + (ix), or (xi), or (xiii) + (xvi).

Evaluation of mood # 352.(Similarly,mutadis mutandis, formood # 363.)

Major premise: Q is a complete cause of R:

(i)If Q, then R;

(ii)if notQ, not-then R;

(iii)where: Q is possible.

Minor premise: Q is a complete and (complemented by S) a contingent cause of P:

(iv)If Q, then P;

(v)if notQ, not-then P;

(vi)where: Q is possible.

(vii)If (notQ + notS), then notP;

(viii)if (Q + notS), not-then notP;

(ix)if (notQ + S), not-then notP;

(x)where: (notQ + notS) is possible.

Putative conclusion: is P a necessary cause of R?

NO! P is not implied to be a necessary cause of R:

If notP, then notR?	open;
if P, not-then notR	implied by (i) + (viii);
where: notP is possible?	implied by (v), or (vii) + (x).
