' SYLLOGISM MANAGEMENT
'--------------------------------------------------
'In traditional logic, a syllogism is an inference in which one proposition (the conclusion)
'follows of necessity from two others (known as premises).
'The definition is traditional, but is derived loosely from Aristotle's Prior Analytics, Book I, c. 1.
'The Greek "sullogismos" means "deduction".
'Syllogisms consist of three things:
'major premise, minor premise, and conclusion, which follows logically from the major and the minor.
'A major is a general principle. A minor is a specific statement.
'Logically, the conclusion follows from applying the major to the minor.
'Every man is mortal. (general principle).
'Socrates is a man. (specific statement).
'Therefore Socrates is mortal. [substitution of specific(minor) into general(major)].
