Lesson 4 | Support by distinct statement

A lot rests on supporting relationships!

Let’s review the Support by Distinct Statement relationships.

What we learned this lesson

1. Support by Distinct Statement relationships
2. Giving a logical basis to an idea:
3. Ground is an idea and the argument or reason for that idea (the supporting piece follows).
4. Inference is an idea and the argument or reason for that idea (the supporting piece precedes).
5. Bilateral contains a piece that acts as a basis for two other pieces, one preceding and one following.
6. Tying together two distinct points:
7. Action-Result is an action and a consequence or result which accompanies that action.
8. Action-Purpose is an action and its intended result.
9. Conditional is like Action-Result except that the existence of the action is only potential and the result is contingent upon that action.
10. Temporal is a statement and the occasion when it is true or can occur.
11. Locative is a statement and the place where it is true or can occur.
12. Distinguishing relationships
13. Ground vs. Action-Purpose: One way to answer the question “Why?” is to look back to a cause, which is a Ground. The other way to answer the question “Why?” is to look forward to a Purpose.
14. Purpose vs. Result: Was the outcome a purpose intended by the actor? Or was it a result, not particularly sought by the one doing the action?
