the said sum will not be divisible by 3, then it is necessarily just as
likely as not to be either 7 or divisible by 3.

Every deduction whatever require has purely hypothetical, or ideal,
premisses, or, as I prefer to say express it, has a single cop premiss, which is usually
a copulative proposition. In either case, I term it the copulate premiss.
By saying that the premisses are purely ideal, I mean that they need be no more,
provided the conclusion be equally ideal.
Every deduction whatever requires the use of a kind of sign
which I term an icon, that is to say, a sign which represents its object
by virtue of being like it, whether qualitatively or by the analogy of
its parts; Most deductions req such as a diagram. Such is a geometrical
