VI. Argument
 
  6.1 Argument  
  Article 174–Argument  
  Canon 2551  
  An Argument is one or several connected postulations to influence the opinion of another upon Faith or to support a proposition as Proof. A postulation may be based on one or more Facts, or Suppositions, or a combination of both.  
  Canon 2552  
  As all Arguments depend upon meaning, all arguments are by definition fictional, regardless of whether they seek to influence upon Faith, or Proof or both.  
  Canon 2553  
  The ability to present coherent and connected postulations is essential to any Idea, Model and System based on Meaning. Therefore, the validity of an Argument may be equated in some degree to the value and validity of a Model, Idea or System.  
  Canon 2554  
  As all Arguments are by definition fictional, the test for the validity of any argument may be based upon such qualities as its coherence, comprehensivess, relevance, consistency. The age of an Argument, or its customary acceptance is insufficient evidence alone for its validity.  
  Canon 2555  
  An argument that is consistent with these canons and conforms to the prescripts of Pactum de Singularis Caelum is superior to any argument that is inconsistent to these canons.
