Simple intuition, or a simple inductive proof, assures us that any rooted tree can be reduced by way of the arithmetic initials either to a root node [[Image:Rooted Node.jpg|16px]] or else to a rooted edge [[Image:Rooted Edge.jpg|12px]] .

There is one other reason for lingering a while longer in these primitive forests, and this is that an acquaintance with "bare trees", those as yet unadorned with literal or numerical labels, will provide a firm basis for understanding what's really at issue in such problems as the "ontological status of variables".

It is probably best to illustrate this theme in the setting of a concrete case, which we can do by reviewing the previous example of reductive evaluation shown in Figure 16.

The observation of several ''semioses'', or sign-transformations, of roughly this shape will most likely lead an observer with any observational facility whatever to notice that it doesn't really matter what sorts of branches happen to sprout from the side of the root aside from the lone edge that also grows there the end result will always be the same.

Our observer might think to summarize the results of many such observations by introducing a label or variable to signify any shape of branch whatever, writing something like the following:

One theorem of frequent use goes under the nickname of the ''weed and seed theorem'' (WAST).  The proof is just an exercise in mathematical induction, once a suitable basis is laid down, and it will be left as an exercise for the reader.  What the WAST says is that a label can be freely distributed or freely erased anywhere in a subtree whose root is labeled with that label.  The second in our list of frequently used theorems is in fact the base case of this weed and seed theorem.  In LOF, it goes by the names of ''Consequence 2'' <math>(C_2)\!</math> or ''Generation''.

The third of the frequently used theorems of service to this survey is one that Spencer-Brown annotates as ''Consequence 3'' <math>(C_3)\!</math> or ''Integration''.  A better mnemonic might be ''dominance and recession theorem'' (DART), but perhaps the brevity of ''dominant form theorem'' (DFT) is sufficient reminder of its double-edged role in proofs.
