What is the meaning of "in particular" in this proof?

Do you know "a fortiori"?

It's the "a maiore ad minus" argument, concluding from a general to a more special ("particular") case. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_a_fortiori

As in:

"All cats are mammals. In particular, all black cats are mammals."


A red shirt is a 'particular' or 'specific* kind of shirt.

So, I could say:

"If I don't wear a shirt, then in particular I don't wear a red shirt"

This is just like the:

"If there is no proof, then in particular there is no short proof"
