Conditional Linkage page 211 question 4 (2023)

[behzad]

Hello,

In the explanation the variables are set as:

AS = Angle stable
GI = gravitational influence of Earth's large, nearby Moon
PCE = planet's climate too extreme and unstable to support life

and the links are made as such:

AS ---> GI
PCEx ---> AS
PCEx ---> AS ---> GI

My issue is:

Logically I would make the second link as :

PCE = ASx

As, planet's climate too extreme and unstable to support life, when it does not have a, stable angle.

I understand why the example is designed as such because it allows the link to be formed from PCEx ---> GI.

Is this negation to create a link something that is universally applied ?
Or is it something that I need to be aware of on a case by case basis when a link is not present.

Thank you,

Behzad

Hi Behzad,
I'm unfortunately not seeing this question on page 211 of the LGB. Could you please clarify where this is located?

Thanks!

Hey Stephanie,

Sorry, page 210 actually.

Thanks.

Hi Behzad,

Thanks for the reply, and I think I figured out the confusion here. This is on page 210 of the Logical Reasoning Bible, not the Logic Games Bible. You can find a full discussion of this question here: viewtopic.php?f=617&t=9345
