[edit] nonsymmetric

Someone redirected nonsymmetric relation to asymmetic. However, they deleted the article without including anything about nonsymmetric relations. So here is the deleted part. Apparently he thought it look wierd and deleted it. Way to go. That's a great way to do things. Gregbard 23:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

In logic, the nonsymmetrical or partimsymmetric relation is defined as:

(x)(y)(Rxy\to((\existsx)(\existsy)(Ryx)&(\existsx)(\existsy)(~Ryx))

[edit] Examples

"x loves y", "is the brother of"
