One of the most important elements in Peter's logic concerns the doctrine of supposition.
The presence of all these regulator elements favours the supposition of a transcriptionally active gene.
Broadside the bulkheads of ignorance, sever the shrouds of supposition, explode the magazines of pomposity.
It remains a sea of supposition dotted with islands of fact.
All modes of supposition so far described fall under what was variously called proper supposition or accidental supposition or, excluding material supposition, formal supposition.
Finally, distribution is treated as a particular mode or type of supposition, confused and distributive supposition.
The tract on supposition winds up with the discussion of a few questions regarding the attribution of supposition in a few cases.
Since Marsilius rejected the idea of universals existing outside the mind, he eliminated simple supposition from the list of different types of supposition.
Put in terms of supposition, the syncategorematic phrase 'immediately after the present moment' renders the supposition of the term that follows it merely confused.
This inconsistency runs throughout Peter's account of supposition, and comes to the fore most prominently in what he says about natural supposition (suppositio naturalis).
