(pvq)^[p^q]

(pvq)^[q^p]         commutative 

    [(pvq)^q]^p     associative    

[(pvq)v(q^q)]^p     distributive  

    [(pvq)vq]^p     idempotent

[(p^q)^p]v(q^p)     distributive

[(q^p)^p]v(q^p)     commutative

[q^(p^p)]v(q^p)     associative

    [q^p]v(q^p)     idempotent

       q^p          idempotent
