Tangent and Remainder Maps —
If we follow the classical line which singles out linear functions
as ideals of simplicity then we may complete the analytic series
of the proposition f = pq : X → B in the following way.
The next venn diagram shows the differential proposition df =
d(pq) : EX → B we get by extracting the linear approximation
to the difference map Df = D(pq) : EX → B at each cell or point
of the universe X. What results is the logical analogue of what
would ordinarily be called “the differential” of pq but since the
adjective “differential” is being attached to just about everything
in sight the alternative name “tangent map” is commonly used for df
whenever it's necessary to single it out.

To be clear about what's being indicated here,
it's a visual way of summarizing the following data.
d(pq)
= p ∙ q ∙ (dp , dq)
+ p ∙ (q) ∙ dq
+ (p) ∙ q ∙ dp
+ (p) ∙ (q) ∙ 0
To understand the extended interpretations, that is,
the conjunctions of basic and differential features
which are being indicated here, it may help to note
the following equivalences.
• (dp , dq) = dp ∙ (dq) + (dp) ∙ dq
• dp = dp ∙ dq + dp ∙ (dq)
• dq = dp ∙ dq + (dp) ∙ dq
Capping the analysis of the proposition pq in terms of succeeding
orders of linear propositions, the final venn diagram of the series
shows the “remainder map” r(pq) : EX → B, which happens to be linear
in pairs of variables.
Remainder r(pq) : EX → B

Reading the arrows off the map produces the following data.
r(pq)
= p ∙ q ∙ dp ∙ dq
+ p ∙ (q) ∙ dp ∙ dq
+ (p) ∙ q ∙ dp ∙ dq
+ (p) ∙ (q) ∙ dp ∙ dq
In short, r(pq) is a constant field, having the value dp ∙ dq at each cell.
