contrapositive

Changing subject to negative of predicate and predicate to negative of subject can make new statements {contrapositive}| {transposition, logic} {contraposition}. "If A then B" transposes to "If not B, then not A". If theorem is true, contrapositive is true. If contrapositive is true, theorem is true. "All A are B" transposes to "All not B are not A". "Some A are not B" transposes to "Some B are not A". "No A are B" transposes to "No not B are not A". "Some A are B" transposes to "Some not B are not A". For true statements, contrapositive of "All A are B" and "Some A are not B" are true. For true statements A and B, "No A are B" and "Some A are B" contrapositives are not true.
