et al:
A special note is on order:
(1, chicken),
If we were to state that relation F was _equal_to_ the cartesian
product of sets A and B, rather than a _subset_of_ the cartesian
product of sets A and B we would have the unintelligible relation:
F = {
(1, cat),
(1, dog),
(1, cow),
(2, chicken),
(2, cat),
(2, dog),
(2, cow),
(3, chicken),
(3, cat),
(3, dog),
(3, cow),
(4, chicken),
(4, cat),
(4, dog),
(4, cow)
}
Obviously the complete _permutation_ is useless,
