that this can be done without erasure, the only one of them that is simplicative, being rendered complicative. In the next place, since the result aimed at must be of extreme simplicity, it is necessary to place restrictions upon the employment of the complicative operations. To this end, each of these was studied and the precise ways in which it could further the general purpose of the rule was ascertained; and thus in place of the complicative operations were substituted a set of operations conducive to the purpose.

The process of the rule is, as I said, probably not the most facile. But since the system of existential graphs is not intended as a calculus
