Q&A: Your article on kal va-chomer
Your article on kal va-chomer
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I’m looking for your article "Kal Va-chomer as a Syllogism – An Arithmetic Model," but without success.
Could you point me to where it can be found, or attach it as a response?
Answer
I don’t have the article (it’s ancient, from before my computer era). It’s only in libraries, in volume 2 of Higgayon. But in the meantime there are more comprehensive versions with a more precise and more general theory. See my two articles in Bedad, and also here on the site:

Discussion on Answer
I don’t remember anymore. Most of it appears here.
Is volume 1 of 'The Logical Hermeneutical Principles' more up to date and more complete than these articles?
