being as follows:-- (1) "No xy exist" = "No x are y" = "No y are x". (2) "No xy' exist" = "No x are y'" = "No y' are x". (3) "No x'y exist" = "No x' are y" = "No y are x'". (4) "No x'y' exist" = "No x' are y'" = "No y' are x'". Let us take, next, the Proposition "All x are y". We know (see p. 17) that this is a _Double_ Proposition, and equivalent to the _two_ Propositions "Some x are y" and "No x are y'", each of which we already know how to represent. .-------. |(.)|( )| |---|---| | | | .-------. [Note that the _Subject_ of the given Proposition settles which _Half_ we are to use; and that its _Predicate_ settles in which _portion_ of that Half we are to place the Red Counter.] pg034 TABLE II. .-----------------------------------------------------. | | .-------. | | .-------. | | | | (.) | | | |( )|( )| | | Some x exist | |---|---| | No x exist | |---|---| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | .-------. | | .-------. | |---------------|-----------|-------------|-----------| | | .-------. | | .-------. | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some x' exist | |---|---| | No x' exist | |---|---| | | | | (.) | | | |( )|( )| | | | .-------. | | .-------. | |---------------|-----------|-------------|-----------| | | .-------. | | .-------. | | | | | | | | |( )| | | | Some y exist | |(.)|---| | No y exist | |---|---| | | | | | | | | |( )| | | | | .-------. | | .-------. | |---------------|-----------|-------------|-----------| | | .-------. | | .-------. | | | | | | | | | |( )| | | Some y' exist | |---|(.)| | No y' exist | |---|---| | | | | | | | | | |( )| | | | .-------. | | .-------. | .-----------------------------------------------------.
