Additional notes
- The negation closure of this diagram is a JSB sigma-3.
The partition induced by this diagram consists of the following anchor formulas:- $\forall x[Sx \to Px]$
- $\exists x[Sx \wedge Px] \wedge \exists x[Sx \wedge \neg Px]$
- $\exists x Sx \wedge \exists x[Sx \to Px] \wedge \forall x[Sx \to \neg Px]$
- $\exists x Sx \wedge \forall x[Sx \wedge \neg Px]$
Note that $\exists x[Sx \to Px]$ is not the correct formalization of the natural language statement 'Some S is P'. - $\forall x[Sx \to Px]$
