The actions of the difference operator <math>\operatorname{D}</math> and the tangent operator <math>\operatorname{d}</math> on each of the 16 propositional forms on two variables are shown in the Tables below.
 +
 +
Table A7 expands the resulting differential forms over a so-called "logical basis":
 +
 +
<center>
 +
<math>\{ (\operatorname{d}x)(\operatorname{d}y),\ \operatorname{d}x\,(\operatorname{d}y),\ (\operatorname{d}x)\,\operatorname{d}y,\ \operatorname{d}x\,\operatorname{d}y \}.</math>

</center>

This is a set of singular propositions indicating mutually exclusive and exhaustive "cells" or coordinate points of the universe of discourse.  For this reason, it may also be referred to as a cell-basis, point-basis, or singular basis.  In this setting it is frequently convenient to use the following abbreviations:
 +
 +
<center>
 +
<math>\partial x = \operatorname{d}x\,(\operatorname{d}y)</math> and <math>\partial y = (\operatorname{d}x)\,\operatorname{d}y.</math>
 +
</center>
 +
 +
Table A8 expands the resulting differential forms over a so-called "algebraic basis":
 +
 +
<center>
 +
<math>\{ 1,\ \operatorname{d}x,\ \operatorname{d}y,\ \operatorname{d}x\,\operatorname{d}y \}.</math>
 +
</center>
