Additional notes
- The partition induced by this sigma-8 diagram consists of 26 concepts. Calculation to be checked.
Sketch:
1) the sigma-5 subdiagram (cf. here) induces a 5-partition
2) there are 6 new formulas: maximal geboten, minimal geboten, erlaubt, and their negations
3) these 6 new formulas induce an 8-partition
4) crosscutting the 5-partition with the 8-partition yields 40 possible concepts
5) the contrarieties of 'minimal geboten' with 'supererogatorisch' and 'deontisch indifferent' and of 'maximal geboten' with 'anstössig' and 'deontisch indifferent' entail that 14 of these possible concepts are inconsistent
6) so 40 - 14 = 26 concepts remain
