Sum of Summations over Overlapping Domains

Theorem
Let $R: \Z \to \left\{ {\mathrm T, \mathrm F}\right\}$ and $S: \Z \to \left\{ {\mathrm T, \mathrm F}\right\}$ be propositional functions on the set of integers.

Let $\displaystyle \sum_{R \left({i}\right)} x_i$ denote a summation over $R$.

Then:


 * $\displaystyle \sum_{R \left({j}\right)} a_j + \sum_{S \left({j}\right)} a_j = \sum_{R \left({j}\right) \lor S \left({j}\right)} a_j + \sum_{R \left({j}\right) \land S \left({j}\right)} a_j$

where $\lor$ and $\land$ signify logical disjunction and logical conjunction respectively.
