Is the entire established meaning intended?Muṭābaqah
Is an internal constituent intended?Taḍammun
Is a distinct, mentally necessary implication intended?Iltizām
For “human,” the complete established concept represents correspondence; one defining element, such as animality, represents inclusion. A consequence external to those conceptual components may represent implication if the required mental connection exists.
This method prevents every indirect meaning from being collapsed into the same category. The critical boundary is between an internal component and an external implication.
