A subjunctive conditional is true if and only if in the nearest antecedent-world, its consequent is true.
(It is very close to certain that if you toss the coin ten times, you will get at least one head; but it is certainly false that the consequent is true at all nearest antecedent-worlds).
The Yip Harburg rule of agreement: if you're not near the antecedent you love, you use the antecedent you're near. 5.
The work's nearest technical antecedents are Fantasound, the original multi-channel system developed for the Walt Disney classic Fantasia, and the sound system designed by Philips for Varèse's Poème électronique at the Brussels World Fair of 1957.
That counterfactual conditional is true if, and only if, in the nearest possible world where the antecedent is true, so is the consequent.
For transmission number, both antecedent drought and near coincident wetting contribute significantly over a range of antecedent drought lags (5 13 weeks), near coincident wetting lags (0 3 weeks), and working correlation values (r = 0 0.3).
For the longer 1978 1997 record, antecedent drought and near coincident wetting were significant predictors of transmission incidence.
Again, for transmission incidence, antecedent drought and near coincident wetting contribute significantly to whole model goodness-of-fit (p < 0.0001).
For transmission number, both antecedent drought and near coincident wetting were also significant predictors, but only for lower working correlation values (r = 0 0.3).
For the shorter record, 1986–1991, antecedent drought and near coincident wetting were shown to be good predictors of all three transmission categories.
