are y'" = "Some y' are x",
"Some x' are y" = "Some y are x'",
"Some x' are y'" = "Some y' are x'".
Let us take, next, the Proposition "No x are y".
This, we know, is equivalent to the Proposition of Existence "No xy
exist". (See p. 33.) Hence it may be represented by the expression
"xy_{0}".
The Converse Proposition "No y are x" may of course be represented by
the _same_ expression, viz. "xy_{0}".
Similarly we may represent the three similar Pairs of Converse
Propositions, viz.--
"No x are y'" = "No y' are x",
"No x' are y" = "No y are x'",
"No x' are y'" = "No y' are x'".

Let us take, next, the Proposition "All x are y".
Now it is evident that the Double Proposition of Existence "Some x exist
and no xy' exist" tells us that _some_ x-Things exist, but that _none_
of them have the Attribute y': that is, it tells us that _all_ of them
have the Attribute y: that is, it tells us that "All x are y".
Also it is evident that the expression "x_{1} + xy'_{0}" represents this
Double Proposition.
Hence it also represents the Proposition "All x are y".
[The Reader will perhaps be puzzled by the statement that the
Proposition "All x are y" is equivalent to the Double
Proposition "Some x exist and no xy' exist," remembering that it
was stated, at p. 33, to be equivalent to the Double Proposition
"Some x are y and no x are y'" (i.e. "Some xy exist and no xy'
exist"). The explanation is that the Proposition "Some xy exist"
contains _superfluous information_. "Some x exist" is enough for
our purpose.]
This expression may be written in a shorter form, viz. "x_{1}y'_{0}",
since _each_ Subscript takes effect back to the _beginning_ of the
expression.
Similarly we may represent the seven similar Propositions "All x are
y'", "All x' are y", "All x' are y'", "All y are x", "All y are x'",
"All y' are x", and "All y' are x'".
[The Reader should make out all these for himself.]
It will be convenient to remember that, in translating a Proposition,
beginning with "All", from abstract form into subscript form, or _vice
versa_, the Predicate _changes sign_ (that is, changes from positive to
negative, or else from negative to positive).
[Thus, the Proposition "All y are x'" becomes "y_{1}x_{0}",
where the Predicate changes from x' to x.
Again, the expression "x'_{1}y'_{
