The method works regardless of whether A or B is used.

The argument works equally well for R being a general ring with unity.

A further complication arises from “selection'', which works rather differently from the other labels.

We can assume that p is as close to q as is necessary for the following proof to work.

We now work toward the establishment of properties (A) to (D).
