| 1. | A → B | ("If A, then B") |
| 2. | B → C | ("If B, then C") |

A guardsman in a dress uniform is ostensibly an icon of aggression; his coat is red as the blood he hopes to shed. Seen on a coat-hanger, with no man inside it, the uniform loses all its blustering significance and, to the innocent eye seduced by decorative colour and tactile braid, it is as abstract in symbolic information as a parasol to an Eskimo. It becomes simply magnificent.” “Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.” | ||
