The mood of a syllogism refers to the arrangement of the categorical propositions (statements) used in the syllogism. Each categorical proposition in a syllogism is represented by a letter code, where each letter corresponds to a specific type of proposition. 

Categorical propositions are represented by letters: A, E, I, and O.
