TRANSITIVE PROPERTY

So, the transitive property applies to both argument and set of facts? There is not a favor to one? It is just a matter of understanding where premises that involve principles are linking each other

Hi @AdamYousif,

Thanks for the question! Yup, that’s exactly correct. The transitive property can apply to either an “argument” or a “set of facts.” What’s important is that there is conditional reasoning happening where we can link different conditionals together. So we could have a "set of facts" like

A—>B
B—>C

Or we could be asked to evaluate the argument

C
A—>B
B—>C
Conclusion: A

and the same underlying logical principles apply to both.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
