Purpose: First test of multi-step deductive chains using go. Tests the a- universal scope prefix in a major syllogistic premise, stacked double-go {P}, go {P}, C conclusion, ; vs go distinction as a minimal contrast pair (Humean constant conjunction vs necessary connection), Descartes' Cogito using go as epistemic grounding, and reductio ad absurdum structure. No new vocabulary — pure grammar and connective test. Full analysis in corpus/translations/Philosophy/proof-structure.md.

S684 a-zo-li ne de-zo All persons are mortal.

S685 la-Sokrates ne zo-li Socrates is a person.

S686 go a-zo-li ne de-zo , go la-Sokrates ne zo-li , la-Sokrates ne de-zo Because all persons are mortal, and because Socrates is a person: Socrates is mortal.

S687 la-li to-ki ; lo-li su-ti I am reasoning; I am in a current state.

S688 go {la-li to-ki}, lo-li su-ti Because I am reasoning: I have a determinate present state.

S689 to-go {no-ki}, no-re ; re su-ti ; go to , ki If there were no motion, there would be no cyclic recurrence. Cyclic recurrence [currently] obtains. By the foregoing principle: motion.

Coverage: a- universal scope prefix in a deductive premise (S684); stacked go {P}, go {P}, C (S686); ; vs go minimal pair for the Humean/Cartesian distinction (S687/S688); to-go counterfactual + go to, anaphoric conclusion in reductio structure (S689). No new vocabulary entries — pure grammar and connective test.

Key finding: The ; / go distinction is the sharpest distinction in the corpus. ; = constant conjunction (Hume): two states recorded in sequence. go = necessary connection: the premise constitutively grounds the consequence. S687/S688 are minimal pairs on exactly this axis — same propositional content, different logical structure. The Cogito works in Tonesu only with go, not ;.
