         (i.) If some object/thing A manifests as some object/thing B, then B is the nature of A, — KantDane21
It seems deductively valid, but unsound because of (i.). e.g. i can say the “if depression manifests as body-trembling, then a body-trembling is the nature of depression”. But this seems to be false since body-trembling is not the "nature" of depression, but maybe just one symptom... — KantDane21
