Hypothetical syllogism

Hypothetical syllogism is a logical reasoning process that connects two conditional statements (if-then statements) to reach a conclusion. If the first statement says "If A, then B," and the second says "If B, then C," then you can logically conclude that "If A, then C." It’s a way of chaining logical conditions together to derive a new, valid conclusion. This method helps in reasoning through complex chains of cause-and-effect or dependencies, ensuring that the conclusion follows logically if the original conditions are true.
