Reverse the arrangement. Let “If the sun rises, daylight exists” be the entire antecedent and “Sunrise is a condition for daylight” the categorical consequent.
Antecedent: a connected conditional.
Consequent: a categorical proposition.
The pair contains the same two component-types as the preceding slide but their conditional roles have been exchanged. Because antecedent and consequent play different roles in a connected conditional, this counts as another structural pattern.
