In the traditional square of opposition, the relationship between a universal and a particular proposition of the same quality (A and I, E and O): if the universal is true, the particular must be true, and if the particular is false, the universal must be false.

Universal

Pertaining to a statement or concept that applies to all cases or instances without exception.

Particular

In logic, a particular statement is one that claims the existence of at least one instance of something, often contrasted with universal statements that claim something about all instances.
