Additional notes

This diagram is a U4 sigma-3 (rather than a JSB sigma-3), because here the assumption of 'differential import' (cf. p. 100) does not make sense anymore. For example, consider 'always' and 'only'. In a JSB sigma-3, these two items should be contrary to each other, whereas in a U4 sigma-3 they should be unconnected/independent. And as a matter of fact, it is clear that they are unconnected, in particular, the following two sentences (cf. p. 123) can be true together:

Don always talks nonsense when he is drunk.
Don only talks nonsense when he is drunk.

These two sentences are true together in a situation where Don talks nonsense exactly whenever he is drunk. This implies a violation of the 'differential import' assumption, but it constitutes perfectly imaginable situation.

The partition induces by this U4 sigma-3 (subject to existential, but not differential import) consists of the following five anchor formulas (cf. the Gergonne relations!):
$\bullet$ always $\wedge$ only
$\bullet$ always $\wedge$ not only
$\bullet$ sometimes $\wedge$ not always $\wedge$ not only
$\bullet$ not always $\wedge$ only
$\bullet$ never
