In fact graph *is* a binary relation over the set of nodes. The notation used in graph theory is relational. For instance, edges are denoted as aGb. G is the graph. So what?
That proves / refutes nothing. Observe that any program is an integer number. This certainly should make integer arithmetic hugely useful in for software design. Let Windows XP be n, then to n+m would be Vista, n/2 would Windows ME...
Argumentation to Turing/other-completeness is a fallacy in software design disciplines.
