Take and . Permuting the variables produces another solution with the same linear term, so uniqueness gives
For , the one-variable case of part i gives a unique commuting with . Applying uniqueness once more to the two ways of composing with gives
Thus is the addition law and the are scalar endomorphisms of the Lubin–Tate formal group.
