In logic an argument consists of a set of statements, the premises, whose truth supposedly supports the truth of a single statement called the conclusion of the argument.
Furthermore, it is determined that a state supports the falsity of $\osim A$ iff it supports the truth of $A$$ ${\cal M}, w\models ^- \osim A$ iff ${\cal M}, w\models ^+ A$.
Barwise 1981 proposes to analyze direct perception reports like (1) along the lines of (5): The virtues of Barwise's analysis can be appreciated even without seeing the exact details of how situations might support the truth of sentences.

In accordance with the notion of negation as falsity, an information state $w$ in a model $\cal M$ supports the truth of the strong negation $\osim A$ of $A$ iff $w$ supports the falsity of $A$$ ${\cal M}, w\models ^+ \osim A$ iff ${\cal M}, w\models ^- A$.
The systems C and QC are only weakly connexive, but this is not surprising because these logics are paraconsistent and allow formulas A and ~A to be simultaneously satisfiable in the sense that a state and all its possible expansions may support the truth of both A and ~A.
The Epanagoge, however, did not completely subject the patriarch to the supervision of the emperor but rather directed him expressly "to support the truth and to undertake the defense of the holy teachings without fear of the emperor".
