We propose a calculus of string diagrams to reason about satisfiability of
Boolean formulas, and prove it to be sound and complete. We then showcase our
calculus in a few case studies. First, we consider SAT-solving. Second, we
consider Horn clauses, which leads us to a new decision method for
propositional logic programs equivalence under Herbrand model semantics.
