I have come to the conclusion that my model is NOT the OO or Relational Model.
And that my attempt to describe it as such requires hi-jacking the OO/Relational concepts and vocabulary which has resulted in a lot of confusion for everyone. As you have indicated the Relational Model has sound mathematical theory behind it and I have none. Therefore I will rename my model and vocabulary and present it separately from OO or Relational.
