Ratio

Ratio names relation made readable between distinguishable terms.

Ratio is not first a number. Number can formalise ratio later. Ratio is the readable form through which distinguishable terms can remain in accountable relation without collapse. It needs a held reference, a distinguishable other, and enough Clearance for their between to remain readable.

In the corrected refactor, Ratio does not generate Relation. Ratio is how relation becomes readable to a participant: Seed : Ground, One : Other, In : Out, Radiant : Shaded. These are not merely paired words. They are readable ratios where distinguishable terms remain answerable to the relation between them.

Places

Ratio places relation made readable between distinguishable terms.

Holds

Ratio is held by One, Other, and Clearance. A reference and distinction must be readable, and enough held separation must remain, before relation can be read as ratio without collapse.

Pairs

Ratio pairs with Relation. Ratio is relation made readable; Relation is the active condition that ratio remains answerable to.

Traces

• One
• Other
• Clearance

Nests

Ratio nests inside reading order as relation made readable, not as the generative source of relation.

Reads

Ratio becomes readable where reference and distinction can be compared without becoming the same thing, unrelated things, or an unplaced measure.

Examples include Seed : Ground, One : Other, In : Out, and Radiant : Shaded. Each ratio depends on the reference frame through which its faces become readable.

This is why reason, relative reading, and scale all need a frame. A ratio read is always answerable to the reference from which the comparison is made and to the Other by which the comparison becomes meaningful.
