First, all of these properties are relative to a particular basis.  For example, a singular proposition with respect to a basis <font face="lucida calligraphy">A</font> will not remain singular if <font face="lucida calligraphy">A</font> is extended by a number of new and independent features.  Even if we stick to the original set of pairwise options {''a''<sub>''i''</sub>} &cup; {(''a''<sub>''i''</sub>)} to select a new basis, the sets of linear and positive propositions are determined by the choice of simple propositions, and this determination is tantamount to the conventional choice of a cell as origin.
