LessonsThe Point of Resemblance: Single, Multiple and Composite FormsQuiz

«والمركب العقلي من وجه الشبه كحرمان الانتفاع»
An intellectual composite point may consist in being deprived of benefit.

Its constituents combine into an intellectual or moral configuration rather than one externally visible shape. Where someone has been given a means of knowledge or benefit yet fails to use it, the pattern includes possession of the means, opportunity and non-use.

Together these form a unified account of failed benefit. “No benefit occurred” can be too weak a paraphrase, because the rhetoric emphasises that a potentially useful resource was available but was not meaningfully put to work.
