| An existential relation may be termed a 'suilation', if, and only if,
| every individual of the universe stands in that relation to itself.
| An existential relation may be termed an 'ambilation', if, and only if,
| every individual of the universe stands in that relation to every other.
|
| Every suilation is a juxtasuilation and every ambilation is a juxtambilation.
| Consequently, there will result nine classes of relations as shown in this table:
|
| ...
|
| The following terms were proposed by the author in 1870 [see CP 3.136],
| and since they have been generally accepted by writers on the subject, he
| is more bound to adhere to them than anybody else, although he does not now
| think they were very judiciously chosen.  Namely, a juxtasuilation is termed
| a 'self-relation', a contrasuilation an 'alio-relation';  a contrambilation is
| called a 'concurrency', a juxtambilation an 'opponency'.
|
| There is but one ambilative suilation.  It is the juxtalation, or co-existence.
| There is but one contrambilative suilation:  it is the relation of individual
| 'identity', called 'numerical identity' by the logicians.  But the adjective
| seems needless.  There is but one ambilative [contra]suilation:  it is the
| relation of individual 'otherness', or 'negation'.  There is properly no
| contrambilative contrasuilation:  it would be the absurd relation of
| incompossibility.  These four relations are to be termed the 'Four
| Cardinal Dyadic Relations of Second Intention'.  It will be enough
| to call them the 'cardinilations', or 'cardinal relations'.
