The cactus formula <math>\texttt{(p, dp)(q, dq)}</math> and its corresponding graph arise by substituting <math>p + \operatorname{d}p</math> for <math>p\!</math> and <math>q + \operatorname{d}q</math> for <math>q\!</math> in the boolean product or logical conjunction <math>pq\!</math> and writing the result in the two dialects of cactus syntax. This follows from the fact that the boolean sum <math>p + \operatorname{d}p</math> is equivalent to the logical operation of exclusive disjunction, which parses to a cactus graph of the following form:

Last question, for now: What is the value of this expression from your current standpoint, that is, evaluated at the point where <math>pq\!</math> is true? Well, substituting <math>1\!</math> for <math>p\!</math> and <math>1\!</math> for <math>q\!</math> in the graph amounts to erasing the labels <math>p\!</math> and <math>q\!,</math> as shown here:

A function like this has an abstract type and a concrete type. The abstract type is what we invoke when we write things like <math>f : \mathbb{B} \times \mathbb{B} \to \mathbb{B}</math> or <math>f : \mathbb{B}^2 \to \mathbb{B}.</math> The concrete type takes into account the qualitative dimensions or the "units" of the case, which can be explained as follows.

In this case one notices that the tacit extension <math>\varepsilon f</math> and the enlargement <math>\operatorname{E}f</math> are in a certain sense dual to each other. The tacit extension <math>\varepsilon f</math> indicates all the arrows out of the region where <math>f\!</math> is true and the enlargement <math>\operatorname{E}f</math> indicates all the arrows into the region where <math>f\!</math> is true. The only arc they have in common is the no-change loop <math>\texttt{(} \operatorname{d}p \texttt{)(} \operatorname{d}q \texttt{)}</math> at <math>pq.\!</math> If we add the two sets of arcs in mod 2 fashion then the loop of multiplicity 2 zeroes out, leaving the 6 arrows of <math>\operatorname{D}(pq) = \varepsilon(pq) + \operatorname{E}(pq)</math> that are illustrated in Figure 25-2.

Figure 26-1 shows the differential proposition <math>\operatorname{d}f = \operatorname{d}(pq) : \operatorname{E}X \to \mathbb{B}</math> that we get by extracting the cell-wise linear approximation to the difference map <math>\operatorname{D}f = \operatorname{D}(pq) : \operatorname{E}X \to \mathbb{B}.</math> This is the logical analogue of what would ordinarily be called ''the'' differential of <math>pq,\!</math> but since I've been attaching the adjective ''differential'' to just about everything in sight, the distinction tends to be lost.
