to exist as <strong>the</strong> real nature <strong>of</strong> things is <strong>the</strong> final object which is denied by<br />

based on interdependence, and known as <strong>the</strong> "King <strong>of</strong> Reasons." First we will<br />
present <strong>the</strong> reasoning, and <strong>the</strong>n secondly prove <strong>the</strong> validity <strong>of</strong> its elements.<br />
