 | | By this, they mean that if a normal cognitive agent that can perform one instance of a type of logical inference, then, ceteris paribus, that agent can perform other instances of that same type of inference. |
 | | Thus, any normal cognitive agent that can perform one instance of conjunction elimination (modus ponens, modus tollens, disjunctive syllogism) can, ceteris paribus, perform another instance of conjunction elimination (modus ponens, modus tollens, disjunctive syllogism). |
 | | Thus, all conjunctions may be supposed to have some common syntactic and semantic structure, e.g., the occurrence of a main conjunction symbol. |
