| With me -- the 'Sphere' of a term is all the things we know that
| it applies to, or the disjunctive sum of the subjects to which
| it can be predicate in an affirmative subsumptive proposition.
| The 'content' of a term is all the attributes it tells us,
| or the conjunctive sum of the predicates to which it can
| be made subject in a universal necessary proposition.
|
| The maxim then which rules explicatory reasoning
| is that any part of the content of a term can
| be predicated of any part of its sphere.
