    Hey @Broccoli,

    Sorry, I can't really understand what you are writing.

    Were you meaning to write as below?

    • A → B
    • B -m→ C

    • A → B
    • B ←some→ C

    And what would you like to "solve" from this?

    @akistotle Yes that's what I meant. Sorry if I confused you.

    I just know that

    A → B
    B →m→ C
    cannot be A → m → C


    A → B
    B →some→ C
    cannot be A → s → C

    I want to know if you can get A → s → C from first diagram

    No, you cannot infer that from the first example.

    Let's say there are 2 As that exist. So we know, all those As are Bs. But what if there are 50 Bs in total? So those 2 As are only a small amount. Then, even if most Bs are Cs, those 2 Bs that are also As could be part of the "most" that are Cs or not. It's unknown.
