Talk:TFNR - 4.4 Relations

Def / meaning Kinds Properties Principle of Relation? Relation is the source of the essence, the form of Reality. The source of the evolution towards complexity. It's the root of the Information. Attribute, characteristic of an Entity. Product of the Operator Relation, one of the two fundamental way of manifestation of the Force: Force Relation, way of manifestation, of expression, of the Force in its action of pressure to the Evolution of Reality. A relation is often considered to be a more general case of a property. Relations are true of several particulars, or shared amongst them. Thus the relation ".. is taller than .." holds "between" two individuals, who would occupy the two ellipses ('..'). Relations can be expressed by N-place predicates, where N is greater than 1. It is widely accepted [by whom?] that there are at least some apparent relational properties which are merely derived from non-relational (or 1-place) properties. For instance "A is heavier than B" is a relational predicate, but it is derived from the two non relational properties: the mass of A and the mass of B. Such relations are called external relations, as opposed to the more genuine internal relations.[5] Some philosophers believe that all relations are external, leading to a scepticism about relations in general, on the basis that external relations have no fundamental existence. Even relations are subject to evolution. We will find more and more complex relations between more and more complex entities and events. Derived entities, events and relations co-evolve toward more and more complex levels, to realize more complex processes.
