I go on to explain what I mean by one thing being determined to
Accord with another. Let there be three Subjects λ, μ, ν and three
characters P, Q, and R. If P and Q both possess μ, which is the same as ν or nearly so and P is not more
definite in its nature than Q, or P possesses μ and Q possesses ν but
would not have possessed ν if P had not possessed μ, or if P possesses
μ, Q possesses ν, R possesses λ, and if R had not possessed λ, Q would not have
possessed μ, and if it had not been true that if R had not possessed λ, Q would
not have possessed ν then it would not be true that if P had not possessed μ,
R would not have possessed λ; in either of these three cases Q is said
to be determined to Accord with P.
