"Precondition."

Hello, Is it safe to interpret "precondition" synonymously with "necessary?" So in the example "all carrots are vegetable" (C--->V), being a vegetable is a "precondition" to being a carrot. In other words, a carrot cannot be rendered such before being first rendered a vegetable. Am I reasoning this soundly?

Hi @Mazen,

Thanks for the question! That certainly makes sense to me. A “precondition” is quite reasonably interpreted as a necessary condition. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
