    Key Terms

    determinate positive and negative instances(as used in logic and reasoning)
    Clear-cut examples where something definitely is the case (positive) and clear-cut examples where it definitely is not the case (negative)—like having obvious instances of 'fire' and obvious instances of 'no fire' to test a logical argument.
    dissolve(as used in philosophical argumentation)
    To break down, weaken, or disappear; in this context, to undermine or remove something's essential quality.
    ontological categories(Thomasson's system; used to address mutual exclusiveness and exhaustiveness requirements)
    Classifications of purported entities distinguished by the relations of dependence they have or lack — specifically dependence on mental states and dependence on spatio-temporally located objects.
    trairūpya(Found in Dignāga's Hetucakra and elaborated by Dharmakīrti)
    The triple criterion for good reasons in Buddhist logic.
