Again frequent use of associative and commutative nature of 'and' and 'or' is needed unless the rules are generalized to incorporate them. Using the (generalized) rules from table 6 in conjunction with the rules from table 2 whenever applicable will normalize an s5 expression. Again simplification is advised to reduce the redundancy in the expression some helpfull rules are given in table 7.

Most of these rules are pretty straightforward, and usage is on the same terms as before. But this is only a handfull, there are many more rules that can be derived from the axioms of S5 in varying complexity.
