Let's continue to work our way through the rest of the first
set of definitions, making up appropriate examples as we go.

| Let P c X x Y be an arbitrary 2-adic relation.
| The following properties of P can be defined:
|
| P is "total" at X     iff   P is (>=1)-regular at X.
|
| P is "total" at Y     iff   P is (>=1)-regular at Y.
|
| P is "tubular" at X   iff   P is (=<1)-regular at X.
|
| P is "tubular" at Y   iff   P is (=<1)-regular at Y.

E_1 exemplifies the quality of "totality at X".

| If P c X x Y is tubular at X, then P is known as a "partial function"
| or a "pre-function" from X to Y, frequently signalized by renaming P
| with an alternative lower case name, say "p", and writing p : X ~> Y.
|
| Just by way of formalizing the definition:
| 
| P is a "pre-function" P : X ~> Y   iff   P is tubular at X.
|
| P is a "pre-function" P : X <~ Y   iff   P is tubular at Y.

So, E_3 is a pre-function e_3 : X ~> Y,
and E_4 is a pre-function e_4 : X <~ Y.
