Inquiry Into Inquiry<p><strong>Differential Propositional Calculus • 10</strong></p><p><strong>Special Classes of Propositions (cont.)</strong></p><p>Let’s pause at this point and get a better sense of how our special classes of propositions are structured and how they relate to propositions in general. We can do this by recruiting our visual imaginations and drawing up a sufficient budget of venn diagrams for each family of propositions. The case for 3 variables is exemplary enough for a start.</p><p><strong>Linear Propositions</strong></p><p>The <i><a
