Given the proposition f<p, q> over the space X = !P! x !Q!,
the (first order) "enlargement" of f is the proposition Ef
over the differential extension EX that is defined by the
following formula:
Ef<p, q, dp, dq>
= f<p + dp, q + dq>
= f<(p, dp), (q, dq)>
In the example f<p, q> = pq, the enlargement Ef is given by:
Ef<p, q, dp, dq>
= [p + dp][q + dq]
= (p, dp)(q, dq)

Given the proposition f<p, q> over X = !P! x !Q!, the
(first order) "difference" of f is the proposition Df
over EX that is defined by the formula Df = Ef - f, or,
written out in full:
Df<p, q, dp, dq>
= f<p + dp, q + dq> - f<p, q>
= (f<(p, dp), (q, dq)>, f<p, q>)
In the example f<p, q> = pq, the difference Df is given by:
Df<p, q, dp, dq>
= [p + dp][q + dq] - pq
= ((p, dp)(q, dq), pq)

o-------------------------------------------------o
We did not yet go through the trouble to interpret this (first order)
"difference of conjunction" fully, but were happy simply to evaluate
it with respect to a single location in the universe of discourse,
namely, at the point picked out by the singular proposition pq,
in as much as if to say, at the place where p = 1 and q = 1.
This evaluation is written in the form Df|pq or Df|<1, 1>,
and we arrived at the locally applicable law that states
that f = pq = p and q => Df|pq = ((dp)(dq)) = dp or dq.

The picture illustrates the analysis of the inclusive
disjunction ((dp)(dq)) into the exclusive disjunction:
dp(dq) + (dp)dq + dp dq, a differential proposition that
may be interpreted to say "change p or change q or both".
And this can be recognized as just what you need to do if
you happen to find yourself in the center cell and require
a complete and detailed description of ways to escape it.
