Some of the jobs that the CAST can be usefully put to work on are proving propositional theorems and establishing equations between propositions. Once again, let us turn to the example of Leibniz's ''Praeclarum Theorema'' as a way of illustrating how.

What we have harvested is the succulent equivalent of a ''disjunctive normal form'' (DNF) for the proposition with which we started. Remembering that a blank node is the graphical equivalent of a logical value ''true'', we can read this brand of DNF in the following manner:

That is tantamount to saying that the proposition being submitted for analysis is true in each case. Ergo we are justly entitled to title it a ''Theorem''.
