From Blackburn it is valid that the antecedent is prior to the consequent in philosophy and logic. It is stated that
p = Antecedent
q = Consequent
It is argued:
p The leg is broken
q The leg will hurt
The inference is...
-q The leg does not hurt
-p The leg is not broken
This is logical.

However, in contrast.
The leg is broken
The leg is comfortable
(The leg is under the influence of narcotics)
This is logical.
Again we analyze the logical and the reasonable.
