Returning to the case of the painted cactus language <math>\mathfrak{L} = \mathfrak{C} (\mathfrak{P}),</math> it is possible to put the currently assembled pieces of a grammar together in the light of the presently adopted canons of style, to arrive a more refined analysis of the fact that the concept of a sentence covers any concatenation of sentences and any surcatenation of sentences, and so to obtain the following form of a grammar:

In this rendition, a string of type <math>T\!</math> is not in general a sentence itself but a proper ''part of speech'', that is, a strictly ''lesser'' component of a sentence in any suitable ordering of sentences and their components. In order to see how the grammatical category <math>T\!</math> gets off the ground, that is, to detect its minimal strings and to discover how its ensuing generations get started from these, it is useful to observe that the covering rule <math>T :> S\!</math> means that <math>T\!</math> ''inherits'' all of the initial conditions of <math>S,\!</math> namely, <math>T \, :> \, \varepsilon, m_1, p_j.</math> In accord with these simple beginnings it comes to parse that the rule <math>T \, :> \, T \, \cdot \, ^{\backprime\backprime} \operatorname{,} ^{\prime\prime} \, \cdot \, S,</math> with the substitutions <math>T = \varepsilon</math> and <math>S = \varepsilon</math> on the covered side of the rule, bears the germinal implication that <math>T \, :> \, ^{\backprime\backprime} \operatorname{,} ^{\prime\prime}.</math>
