Arrange the two premises together:
1. The world is subject to change.
2. Everything subject to change is originated.
Conclusion: The world is originated.
فالعالم حادث
Therefore, the world is originated.
The first premise places the world in a class; the second applies a universal predicate to that class. Recognizing this connection yields the conclusion.
Thus, ordering known propositions can make explicit a conclusion not directly stated in either premise taken alone.
