$\text{Figure 15. Anything that is a Lover of a Servant of Anything}$

From now on the forms of analysis exemplified in the last set of Figures and Tables will serve as a convenient bridge between the logic of relative terms and the mathematics of relations themselves.  We may think of Table 13 as illustrating a spreadsheet model of relational composition while Figure 14 may be thought of as making a start toward a hypergraph model of generalized compositions.  I’ll explain the hypergraph model in more detail at a later point.  The transitional form of analysis represented by Figure 15 may be called the universal bracketing of relatives as relations.
