Summary

A relation from one set to another, represented by a subset of their Cartesian product.

Notes

Order, equivalence, accessibility, and well-foundedness use the endorelation specialization X=YX=Y.

SetBinary relation

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Choose a target set YY and a subset RX×YR\subseteq X\times Y. Endorelations are the specialization Y=XY=X.

How to interpret this relation type

Equip an existing carrier or structured object with additional chosen data, when such compatible data exists. Use a construction junction when several independently meaningful inputs must coexist on the same carrier or interact compatibly.

Binary relationEquivalence relation

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

First specialize to an endorelation X=YX=Y; restrict to equivalence relations.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

Binary relationFunction

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Specialize to a relation RX×YR\subseteq X\times Y that is total and single-valued in XX; this is exactly a function XYX\to Y.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Specialize to an endorelation on worlds, treat it as accessibility, and assign atomic propositions to worlds.

How to interpret this relation type

Equip an existing carrier or structured object with additional chosen data, when such compatible data exists. Use a construction junction when several independently meaningful inputs must coexist on the same carrier or interact compatibly.

Authored explanation

First specialize to an endorelation X=YX=Y; restrict to reflexive and transitive relations.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

First specialize to an endorelation X=YX=Y; require every nonempty subset to have a minimal element.

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.
