Statements can exclude or include all members {distribution, logic}. Distributed terms refer to all individuals. In "All A are B", A distributes, but B does not. In "No A are B", A and B distribute. In "Some A are B", A and B do not distribute. In "Some A are not B", A does not distribute, but B distributes. Categorical syllogisms have three terms. If one term distributes in premises and either of the other two terms does not distribute in premises, the other two terms cannot distribute in conclusion.
