What is conditional chain?

A conditional chain links conditionals together: if A then B, and if B then C, so if A then C.

Each link's necessary condition becomes the next link's sufficient condition, letting you travel from the first term to the last.

Chains break when a link is missing or reversed. If B then A does not chain with if B then C.
