I am having difficulty translating statements with both cannot and without. For example:

A business cannot change its core corporate philosophy without becoming a different corporation. Would I translate this as, [if a company changes its corporate philosophy-> then the company becomes a different corporation]?

    Yes. When you have a sentence with both a group 3 indicator word (without) and a group 4 indicator word (cannot) you can follow either translation rule just remember to negate the other idea.

    A business cannot change its core corporate philosophy without becoming a different corporation.

    Group 4 Translation: Cannot

    CCCP --> BDC

    /BDC --> /CCCP

    or

    Group 3 Translation: Without

    /BDC --> /CCCP

    CCCP --> BDC
