Pervasion

The workhorse of Boundary Logic is *Pervasion*, which has no analog in conventional techniques.

A {A B} = A {B}

The curly brace is a *meta-boundary*, standing in place of any spatially intervening content, including none. Curly braces identify *semipermeable boundaries*, a defining characteristic of boundary logic.

Boundary logic proof of the *self-distributive law of the conditional* is illustrated below. The three reduction rules will reduce any TRUE form to a mark. A logical interpretation of *Pervasion* would delete deeply nested connectives and their arguments that match forms anywhere in their context.
