Assume the following experimentally grounded premises are true:
Minor premise: This wax has been heated to a specified temperature.
Major premise: Wax of this kind melts when heated to that temperature under these conditions.
Conclusion: This wax has melted.
Middle term: being heated to the relevant temperature under those conditions.
Epistemic function: it grounds the inference to melting.
Real function: heating brings about the change.
Under the stated assumptions, this illustrates limmī reasoning because the middle term also explains the occurrence.
