The sixth predication consists of a negative statement conjoined with an indescribable statement at the same time. We denote this sixth predication by (TP) A (PAP). Refering to the column for the simultaneous conjunction () in the table given above, we see that since (P takes the truth-value I by the predication and (PAP) is assigned the truth-value I by the fourth predication we see that the proposition P^(PAP) takes the truth-value I.
