Mental Objects
====Deductions====
[[File:Deductions-Platos-mother.JPG|right|thumb|200px|We duduce by going through connected MOs]]
Mental Objects construct our understanding of the world. When we reason, we can go along the lines of connected MOs. For instance, humans have many inductions. We know that they have two legs, two arms, they leave up to 120 years, and in the meanwhile they breath, born and die, and many other inductions ([[why an object don't has proprties but it has inductions|mistakenly called proprties]]). We also know (or conjecture) that Socrates was human, and as such he has all the inductions of the ''MO:humans''.
When we use the clasical sylogism "Socrats was human, all humens are mortal, therfore Socrates is mortal" we go along the lines that connect the MOs. By this mechanism we may say that Socrates was also born. If we want to speculate how old was his mother when she gave birth to Socrates we need some other inductions and mental object. we need to conjectures in what ege women can give birth (age 12-45), and that humans are born by womens and that that woman is his mother. Therefore we can conculde that Socrates was born when his mother was at the age of 12-45, and we therfore conclude that his mother is 12-45 years older then Socrates.
