[This means that] when someone, having first perceived through direct perception a particular fire and a particular smoke in some specific place, and having gone far away at a later time, sees that very same particular smoke again and again and [then] infers that very same particular fire which was previously apprehended - this is inference based on perception of particulars, because it has as its object the particular [previously] apprehended through direct perception.
