LessonsModal Propositions: The Eight Simple ModalitiesQuiz

«المشروطة العامة»
General conditional necessary proposition.

Affirmation or denial is necessary while the subject retains the description expressed in its title. The source's condition is:
«ما دام ذات الموضوع موصوفا بالوصف العنواني»
For as long as the subject itself is described by its titular attribute.

When the subject is “writer,” the judgment concerns the person while writing, rather than merely while that person exists. This distinguishes the generally conditional modality from unrestricted necessity, which is tied to the existence of the subject as such.
