Existential import in Syllogism: an illusion

Abstract

Here Author proves that universal affirmative (UA) and universal negative (UN) do have existential import i.e. definitely have at least one element and existential import theory in syllogism is an illusion. This illusion is due to the fact that Universal set contains infinite number of null sets (void points) identical in all respects but none have individual address. While existential theory wrongly assumes existence of only one possible null set (void point) for a given set.
