I just don't understand where you're coming from.

Well, I'm trying to figure out if you're hostile to the very idea or if you have specific requirements. If you are hostile to the very idea of alternative relations, then there's not much point in our discussion is there?
When you say stuff like "These are not even transitive, right?", I have to say, it doesn't seem very engaged. More helpful would be your stating whether it is a requirement that these relationships be transitive. And why.
Also, stating your question as a disguised assertion doesn't seem very productive. :)
Of course, if a bit of mild push back is already unwelcome, then, of course, there is no need to engage :)
Cheers, Bijan.
