AIEO Square as a Diagram instance #

The four syllogistic forms (syllAll, syllSome, syllSomeNot, syllNone) applied to a fixed (X, Y) term-predicate pair form a 4-corner Aristotelian diagram (Square) over the model class W = VennState.

This file constructs the Diagram (Fin 4) instance and provides the individual conditional Aristotelian relations. Some relations require the restrictor (s ∧ X) to be non-empty (Aristotelian sortal restriction); these are stated with explicit hypothesis or restricted to the non-degenerate substate.

Mapping #

Following Demey & Smessaert (and the medieval ordering):

PositionAristotelianFormLean
0Auniversal +syllAll
1Euniversal −syllNone
2Iparticular +syllSome
3Oparticular −syllSomeNot

Status #

The Square is provided as a Diagram (the fragment cornerForm); its relations are derived. The contradiction diagonals (A↔O, E↔I) hold unconditionally under the modern (FOL) reading and are recorded as theorems (aieoSquare_AO_contradictory, aieoSquare_EI_contradictory). The subalternations A→I, E→O are conditional on existential import (∃R); the sortal-restricted Aristotelian variant where the full Square holds is the natural follow-up (TODO).

      Contradictory diagonal lemmas (modern reading, unconditional) #

      syllAll and syllSomeNot are contradictories at every state: exactly one is true. The "no clash" half follows from extracting the syllSomeNot witness and applying syllAll's universal; the "exhaustion" half is classical LEM on the existence of a Y-counterexample restrictor element.

      syllNone and syllSome are contradictories at every state. Symmetric structure to syllAll_contradictory_syllSomeNot.
