Convert the expression to the conjunct of disjuncts form<br />

¬a(X)∨¬b(X)∨c(X, I)∨e(W)∧<br />

¬a(X)∨¬b(X)∨¬c(f(X), g(X))∨d(X, f(X))∨ e(W)<br />

Call each conjunct a separate clause<br />

¬a(X)∨¬b(X)∨c(X, I)∨e(W)<br />

¬a(X)∨¬b(X)∨¬c(f(X), g(X))∨d(X, f(X))∨ e(W)<br />

St<strong>and</strong>ardize each variable again<br />

¬a(X)∨¬b(X)∨c(X, I)∨e(W)<br />

¬a(U)∨¬b(U)∨¬c(f(U), g(U))∨d(U, f(U))∨e(V)
