Differential Fields —
The structure of a differential field may be described
as follows. With each point of X there is associated an
object of the following type: a proposition about changes
in X, that is, a proposition g : dX → B. In that frame of
reference, if Xº is the universe generated by the set of
coordinate propositions {p, q} then dXº is the differential
universe generated by the set of differential propositions
{dp, dq}. The differential propositions dp and dq may thus
be interpreted as indicating “change in p” and “change in q”,
respectively.
A differential operator W, of the first order type we are
currently considering, takes a proposition f : X → B and
gives back a differential proposition Wf : EX → B. In the
field view of the scene, we see the proposition f : X → B
as a scalar field and we see the differential proposition
Wf : EX → B as a vector field, specifically, a field of
propositions about contemplated changes in X.
The field of changes produced by E on pq
is shown in the following venn diagram.

E(pq)
= p ∙ q ∙ (dp)(dq)
+ p ∙ (q) ∙ (dp) dq
+ (p) ∙ q ∙ dp (dq)
+ (p) ∙ (q) ∙ dp dq
The differential field E(pq) specifies the changes which need
to be made from each point of X in order to reach one of the
models of the proposition pq, that is, in order to satisfy
the proposition pq.
The field of changes produced by D on pq
is shown in the following venn diagram.
Differential D(pq) : EX → B

D(pq)
= p ∙ q ∙ ((dp)(dq))
+ p ∙ (q) ∙ (dp) dq
+ (p) ∙ q ∙ dp (dq)
+ (p) ∙ (q) ∙ dp dq
The differential field D(pq) specifies the changes which need
to be made from each point of X in order to feel a change in
the felt value of the field pq.
