First figure: middle as minor predicate

Proof: Syllogism, Induction, Analogy and the Four Figures

العالم متغير، وكل متغير حادث.
The world is changing, and everything changing is originated.

Minor: world — changing.
Major: every changing thing — originated.
Conclusion: the world is originated.

The middle term, changing, is the predicate of the minor and the subject of the major. This is the first figure.

Its further conditions and productive moods are treated separately in the next lesson.
