Additional notes

The 'fourth' anchor formula, which makes the difference between Boolean complexities 3 and 4, is $(\textit{RI} \cup \textit{NI}) \cap (\textit{CD} \cup \textit{C} \cup \textit{SC} \cup \textit{BI} \cup \textit{LI} \cup \textit{NI}) \cap (\textit{SC} \cup \textit{NCD})$. If $\varphi$ is a tautology and $\psi$ is contingent, then $(\varphi,\psi)$ indeed stand in the relation $(\textit{RI} \cup \textit{NI}) \cap (\textit{CD} \cup \textit{C} \cup \textit{SC} \cup \textit{BI} \cup \textit{LI} \cup \textit{NI}) \cap (\textit{SC} \cup \textit{NCD})$, so the latter is not empty, and hence, the Boolean complexity of this diagram is indeed 4 (rather than 3). Also cf. Footnote 34 on p. 268.
