    Key Terms

    Paradigmatically(as used to describe which dialogues best represent a pattern)
    In a way that serves as a perfect or typical example of something; acting as a model or standard case.
    Verified(as applied to the statement 'I am sitting')
    Confirmed or proven to be true based on the evidence available.
    contingent(De Interpretatione 12–13)
    Equated with 'possible'; on the two-sided interpretation, contingency excludes necessity (possibility implies non-necessity).
    divine permission(the religious framework being discussed in the statement)
    The idea that God or a supreme being allows something to happen; a theological concept suggesting nothing occurs without God's approval.
    permanently satisfied(whether a condition can be guaranteed to stay true indefinitely)
