The relationship between <strong>the</strong> reason and <strong>the</strong> characteristic asserted is proved<br />
as follows:<br />
If something ei<strong>the</strong>r consists <strong>of</strong> a label applied to its parts, or exists in<br />
dependence on its parts, <strong>the</strong>n it cannot be real;<br />
For if something were real, nei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se two could apply to it. This<br />
is true because, if something were real, it would have to exist without<br />
relying on anything else.<br />

Proving <strong>the</strong> relationship between <strong>the</strong> subject and <strong>the</strong> reason in <strong>the</strong> latter<br />
version <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reasoning is simple. This is how we prove <strong>the</strong> relationship<br />
between <strong>the</strong> subject and <strong>the</strong> characteristic asserted in this same version:<br />
If something arises in dependence on o<strong>the</strong>r things which act as its<br />
causes and conditions, it cannot arise really,<br />
For if something were to arise really, it would have to arise without<br />
relying on anything else.<br />
Both versions <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reasoning represent a type <strong>of</strong> logic where <strong>the</strong> presence <strong>of</strong><br />
something which cannot coexist with something else is used to prove that<br />
inner and outer things which perform a function ei<strong>the</strong>r do not exist really or<br />
do not have any nature <strong>of</strong> arising really. This is true because both <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
reasons stated are such that <strong>the</strong>y cannnot coexist with existing really.<br />
