साध्यसमत्वादहेतुः॥

sādhyasamatvād-ahetuḥ.

LITERAL ENGLISH DECODING

Gautama refutes the Sāṅkhya view: Your argument is invalid because it uses the unproven premise of a permanent intellect to prove object recognition, committing a circular logic error.

COMMON MISCONCEPTION

Gautama believed that human thoughts are eternal and never disappear from memory.

LOGICAL DECONSTRUCTION (TRUTH)

Gautama unyielding in his logic: individual thoughts are highly volatile, frame-by-frame snapshot instances that clear out immediately to prevent system overload.

COGNITIVE PHILOSOPHY RUNTIME

Circular property reference trap. Striking down an assertion because it passes an unverified parameter recursively back into its own checking validation loop.

HISTORICAL COMMENTARY ANALYSIS

Gautama drops a compile-time block against the permanent intellect model. He explains that you cannot use an unverified assumption (an eternal mirror mind) to explain recognition. Recognition belongs to the permanent *Self* (*Ātman*), while the intellect is merely the short-lived tool used to parse each individual frame of data.
