contraposit 

Contraposit (noun) - The contrapositive of a statement.
For example: "The contraposit of 'If it rains, then the streets get wet' is 'If the streets are not wet, then it didn't rain.'"

The contraposit of "If it's raining, then the streets are wet" is "If the streets are not wet, then it's not raining."
I took the original statement and formulated the contraposit to test the logical equivalence.
When trying to prove a statement false, it's often helpful to derive and examine the contraposit instead.
The professor challenged us to identify the contrapositives for various claims to better understand inverse relationships.
Logically, a statement and its contraposit must have the same truth value, so disproving one disproves the other.
The lawyer cleverly argued using the contraposit to show why her client could not have committed the crime.
Understanding contraposition allows you to catch logical flaws and manipulations when arguments swap conditionals for their contrapositives.
Geometry proofs often rely on formulating and proving the contraposit to demonstrate equivalences.
I got confused following his reasoning until I mapped out the original statement and its contraposit side-by-side.
Deriving the contraposit is a good way to test your comprehension of a conditional claim.

contrapositive linearity 

The creation of highly resolved lines in art with the use of contrapositive colors on the color wheel (Each set of two contrapositive colors forms a single line across the node (center) of the wheel of colors).

The artistic process used to create hyperreal art.
Contrapositive linearity is the death of postmodernism because juxtaposition is convergence and duality is linearity ie. convergence is in the past.

This contrasts with positive (formalistic) linearity in which juxtaposition is linearity and convergence is duality ie. convergence is the future.

Thus convergence in the past can only happen aesthetically.
