with the result or purpose[edit]
SO AS 1. with the result or purpose: to turn up the volume of the radio so as to drown out the noise from the next apartment. 2. [Older Use.] provided that: I like any flower, just so as it's real. Random House Unabridged Dictionary
Therefore no so as to is needed, and secondly the first currently meaning (result) can be merged with that of purpose --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:23, 29 February 2020 (UTC)
