It is difficult not to believe that Lull's postconversion attitude toward sex had much to do with his vigorous defense of the doctrine of the immaculate conception at a time when it was opposed by the Thomists and of course long before it became church dogma.
Lull's mistake, in large part a product of the philosophic temper of his age, was to suppose that his combinatorial method had useful ap­plication to subject matters where today we see clearly that it does not apply.
Lull naturally chose for his categories those that were implicit in the dogmas and opin­ions he wished to establish.

Lull's figure X employs eight pairs of traditionally opposed terms, such as being (esse) and privation (privatio), arranged in alternate blue and green compartments (Figure 8).
