01 First Order / Relation

Relation

Relation names the primitive condition. Relation relates.

It is not produced from a prior term within the system.

Relation does not name an object, substance, cause, or container — it names the relating condition that holds without requiring anything prior. It remains available where no downstream term is treated as primitive in its place.

Trace

Relation is primitive. No prior dependency within the system.

Read

Relation becomes recognisable where downstream terms can be traced back through their conditions without making any downstream term primitive.
