Theorem ferio

Description: "Ferio" ("Ferioque"), one of the syllogisms of Aristotelian logic. No ph is ps , and some ch is ph , therefore some ch is not ps . Instance of darii . In Aristotelian notation, EIO-1: MeP and SiM therefore SoP. For example, given "No homework is fun" and "Some reading is homework", therefore "Some reading is not fun". This is essentially a logical axiom in Aristotelian logic. Example from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism . (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 24-Aug-2016)
