ONT Re: Logic Of Relatives

LOR.  Note 56

First, a correction.  Ignore for now the
gloss that I gave in regard to Figure 19:

| Here, I have used arrowheads to indicate the relational domains
| at which each of the relations J, K, L happens to be functional.

It is more like the feathers of the arrows that serve to mark the
relational domains at which the relations J, K, L are functional,
but it would take yet another construction to make this precise,
as the feathers are not uniquely appointed but many splintered.

Now, as promised, let's look at a more homely example of a morphism,
say, any one of the mappings J : R -> R (roughly speaking) that are
commonly known as "logarithm functions", where you get to pick your
favorite base.  In this case, K(r, s) = r + s and L(u, v) = u . v,
and the defining formula J(L(u, v)) = K(Ju, Jv) comes out looking
like J(u . v) = J(u) + J(v), writing a dot (.) and a plus sign (+)
for the ordinary 2-ary operations of arithmetical multiplication
and arithmetical summation, respectively.

Figure 21.  Logarithm Arrow J : {+} <- {.}

Thus, where the "image" J is the logarithm map,
the "compound" K is the numerical sum, and the
the "ligature" L is the numerical product, one
obtains the immemorial mnemonic motto:

| The image of the product is the sum of the images.
|
| J(u . v)  =  J(u) + J(v)
|
| J(L(u, v))  =  K(Ju, Jv)
