\[\left(d + \left(c + \left(a + b\right)\right)\right) + e \]

Derivation

1. Initial program 0.4

   \[\left(\left(\left(e + d\right) + c\right) + b\right) + a \]

2. Simplified 0.3

   \[\leadsto \color{blue}{\left(e + d\right) + \left(a + \left(c + b\right)\right)} \]
   Proof

   [Start] 0.4	\[ \left(\left(\left(e + d\right) + c\right) + b\right) + a \]
   associate-+l+ [=>] 0.3	\[ \color{blue}{\left(\left(e + d\right) + \left(c + b\right)\right)} + a \]
   associate-+l+ [=>] 0.3	\[ \color{blue}{\left(e + d\right) + \left(\left(c + b\right) + a\right)} \]
   +-commutative [=>] 0.3	\[ \left(e + d\right) + \color{blue}{\left(a + \left(c + b\right)\right)} \]

3. Final simplification 0.3

   \[\leadsto \left(a + \left(c + b\right)\right) + \left(e + d\right) \]
