परिशेषाद्यथोक्तहेतूपपत्तेश्च॥
pariśeṣād-yathokta-hetūpapatteś-ca.
By the method of logical elimination (Pariśeṣa) and the structural arguments already verified, the independent reality of the Self is securely established.
The soul is an un-testable concept that must be accepted blindly through religious faith alone.
Nyāya treats the soul as a clear logical requirement—proven systematically by isolating and ruling out all material options.
COGNITIVE PHILOSOPHY RUNTIME
Logical elimination algorithm. When a diagnostic suite tests and systematically eliminates all hardware sub-components, the remaining un-flagged variable is confirmed as the root cause.
HISTORICAL COMMENTARY ANALYSIS
Gautama uses his rule of elimination (*Pariśeṣa-Anumāna*). Once you test and rule out the body, the senses, the eye-bulbs, and the passive mind tool, the only logical variable left that can explain integrated human consciousness is the independent, permanent Self. The soul is officially verified by process of elimination.
