− | A symbol like "''x'' <math>\lessdot</math>" or "''x'' <math>\gtrdot</math>", with extra spaces or dots being optional, is called a ''catenation'', where "''x''" is the ''catenand'' and "<math>\lessdot</math>" or "<math>\gtrdot</math>" is the ''catenator''. Due to the fact that "<math>\lessdot</math>" and "<math>\gtrdot</math>" indicate dyadic relations, the significance of these so-called ''unsaturated'' catenations can be rationalized as follows: | + | A symbol like <math>x \lessdot</math> or <math>x \gtrdot</math>, with extra spaces or dots being optional, is called a ''catenation'', where <math>x\!</math> is the ''catenand'' and <math>\lessdot</math> or <math>\gtrdot</math> is the ''catenator''.
