(Note) A recognition is the cognition of the identity of the presented datum with the past. The past is represented by a latent memory-act, and is felt as identical with the presented datum. In 'this is that' this stands for the present datum, and 'that' for the past, and the copula 'is' stresses the identity of the two; in other words, it brings. to focus the continuity of the past in the present.

(Aph.) Inductive reasoning is (the condition of) the knowledge of universal and necessary concomitance. (XIV)
(Gloss) Concomitance is the necessary and universal relation of the probans (middle term) with the probandum (major term). For example, wherever there is smoke, there is fire.

(Aph.) The knowledge of the probandum (emerging) from (that of) the probans is inference. (XV)
niścitasādhya'vinābhāvi-sādha
(Gloss) The probandum is the fact which is capable of being (and sought to be) proved. The probans is the fact which is definitively known to stand in necessary concomitance with the probandum. For example, the hill is possessed of fire, being possessed of smoke.
(Note) Smoke is necessarily bound up with fire as the latter is the cause of the former. The effect cannot come into existence without the cause. Being a case of causality, the relation between smoke and fire is irreversible. It must, however, be noted in this connection that a quantity of smoke may be stored in a vessel, but it will not be correct to infer the presence of fire in the vessel. So it must be understood that the smoke which is uninterruptedly and without intermission issuing forth from a place is the ground of inference of fire,
