Additional notes

The negation closure of this diagram is (purportedly) a U4 sigma-3, because here, the assumption of 'differential import' (cf. p. 100) does not make sense. For example, consider 'must' (รค) and 'should' (a). 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. 125) can be true together:

Don must play.
Don should play.

These two sentences are true together in a situation where playing is both necessary and sufficient for Don to meet his requirements. This implies a violation of the 'differential import' assumption, but it constitutes perfectly imaginable situation.

The partition induces by this diagram (subject to existential, but not differential import) consists of the following five anchor formulas (cf. the Gergonne relations!):
$\bullet$ should $\wedge$ must
$\bullet$ should $\wedge$ not must
$\bullet$ may $\wedge$ not should $\wedge$ not must
$\bullet$ not should $\wedge$ must
$\bullet$ may_not
