Here is what I get when I try to analyze Peirce's
"giver of a horse to a lover of a woman" example
along the same lines as the 2-adic compositions.
We may begin with the mark-up shown in Figure 6.

If we analyze this in accord with the "spreadsheet" model
of relational composition, the core of it is a particular
way of composing a 3-adic "giving" relation G c T x U x V
with a 2-adic "loving" relation L c U x W so as to obtain
a specialized sort of 3-adic relation (G o L) c T x W x V.
The applicable constraints on tuples are shown in Table 9.

The hypergraph picture of the abstract composition is given in Figure 10.
