...from the combination of original: ".b. k." to the chamber of original: ".c. k.", and from the chamber of original: ".b. l." to the chamber of original: ".c. l.", and so on until the chamber of original: ".d. e. a. k." and from original: ".h. l.", thus always descending in steps until the chamber of original: ".b. c.". The third way is to investigate all the sought-after particulars from the outside, such as running through the chamber of original: ".b. c.", then through the chamber of original: ".c. d.", and so on until one has arrived at the chamber of original: ".k. l.". In this figure, let the investigation of particulars be carried out according to the terms The Latin 'tinnos' is likely a scribal error for 'terminos' (terms) or 'titulos' (titles). of the question, which are either explicit or implicit within a mixed question.

They are explicit in this way: if it is asked whether "goodness" and "magnitude" in created things are numerically the same. Because mention is made of goodness and magnitude, one should descend to the chambers In Llull's system, a 'camera' or chamber is the logical space created by the combination of two or more principles, represented by letters. in which the letters b and c stand. One then answers according to what those same letters signify based on the previously mentioned "alphabet," using the definitions of those letters and preserving them.

The terms are implicit in this way: if it is asked whether God is just. In this case, recourse must be made to the chambers in which the "justice of God" can be applied under the rationale of goodness and magnitude, or eternity, and so on for the others—asking whether the justice of God is good, great, and eternal, and so forth.

Regarding the Fourth Figure.

39

The Fourth Figure consists of three circles, two of which are movable. Because of this mobility, it is immediately apparent that the chambers can be multiplied, and through the multiplication of these chambers, the solutions provided for any given question can also be multiplied. The first chamber consists of original: ".b. c. d."; the second of original: ".c. d. e."; and so on until the chamber of original: ".k. b. c.". The tenth chamber consists of original: ".b. c. e.", and so on in order for the rest of the chambers by moving the circles and changing them.

The modes according to which the particulars sought in this figure may be investigated are marked in the Table The 'Tabula' is a massive grid derived from the Fourth Figure, showing all possible combinations of the Art’s principles. derived from this figure. They are signed according to the forms of the chambers, starting with original: ".b. c. d.", then the chamber of original: ".c. d. e.", and so on in order as contained in the table, by changing the chambers of this figure and their modes.

Each of the chambers of this figure contains twelve subjects within itself; for example, the chamber of original: ".b. c. d." contains within itself "goodness" and "difference" according to the first rule and first question, "magnitude" and "concordance" according to the second rule and second question, and "contrariety" and "habit" original: 'consuetudine' according to the third rule and third question. Each of the chambers has twenty ways of answering the second question, as appears in that "distinction" A specific section or division of Llull’s text. derived from this fourth figure. Every chamber of this figure stands ready for investigation so that the particulars named explicitly in the question...
