LessonsFurther Conditional Divisions, Quantification and Conditional QuantifiersQuiz

The main text classifies disjunction into oppositional and coincidental forms. The marginal commentary adds an unqualified (muṭlaqa) consideration, where neither an intrinsic nor a contingent ground of exclusion is specified.

Under this additional consideration, each of the three main disjunctive kinds can be viewed as oppositional, coincidental, or unqualified. That is why the note mentions nine combinations.

Unqualified does not mean the relevant exclusion disappears. It means that the source of that exclusion has not been expressly determined.
