- Stasis
- The classical rhetorical tradition named four canonical stases — conjecture (did it happen?), definition (what is it?), quality (was it justified?), and jurisdiction (is this the right forum?) — on the structural insight that disputants who appear to disagree about the answer are very often disagreeing about the question, and that the right intervention is to identify which level of question is genuinely at stake.
This sourceTrans. H. M. Hubbell. Loeb Classical Library 386. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1949. De Inventione transmits the classical doctrine of stasis (constitutio), derived from Hermagoras — the typology of conjecture, definition, quality, and translation/jurisdiction — supporting both the four-canonical-stases claim and the small, complete-enough working-memory partition of question-kinds.
