5 - Figure X.
The Purpose of Figure X.
X. serves in this Art to inquire into particular issues in any science through affirmation and negation,
with and without a medium. This is because X. is a figure
made of opposites in order to receive likenesses or unlikenesses of A. as well as likenesses or unlikenesses
of all things in all sciences and in whatever the
human intellect can grasp, in the same way that a straight mirror reflects true images and a curved
mirror reflects distorted images as it receives them in a
distorted way. And this is what the author of this Art intended when writing the propositions of X.
