The substance of this principle was known to Boole in the 1850's, tantamount to what we now call the ''boolean expansion'' of a propositional expression. The only novelty here resides in a certain manner of presentation, in which we will prove the basic principle from the axioms given before. One name for this rule is the ''Case Analysis-Synthesis Theorem'' (CAST). | The substance of this principle was known to Boole in the 1850's, tantamount to what we now call the ''boolean expansion'' of a propositional expression.
