For at least a little while, I will keep explicit the distinction between a ''relative term'' like <math>\mathit{m}\!</math> and a ''relation'' like <math>M \subseteq X \times X,</math> but it is best to think of both of these entities as involving different applications of the same information, and so we could just as easily write this form:
−
It has long been customary to omit the implicit plus signs
−
in these matrical displays, but I have restored them here
−
simply as a way of separating terms in this blancophage
−
web format.

By way of making up a concrete example, let us say that <math>M\!</math> is given as follows:

m_aa a:a + m_ab a:b + m_ac a:c +

<math>\begin{array}{l}

a ~\text{is a marker for}~ b

b ~\text{is a marker for}~ b

b ~\text{is a marker for}~ c

In sum, the relative term <math>\mathit{m}\!</math> and the relation <math>M\!</math> are both represented by the following matrix:

m_ca c:a + m_cb c:b + m_cc c:c

0 \cdot (b\!:\!a) & 1 \cdot (b\!:\!b) & 1 \cdot (b\!:\!c)

I think this much will serve to fix notation and set up the remainder of the account.

let us say that M is given as follows:
−
−
a is a marker for a

−
a is a marker for b

−
b is a marker for b
−
−
b is a marker for c
−
−
c is a marker for c
−

c is a marker for a

In sum, we have this matrix:
