Antisymmetric
is always a great word to know.
So is discrete. Does it mean:
| a positive number that is equal to the sum of all positive integers that are submultiples of it, as 6, which is equal to the sum of 1, 2, and 3 |
| problem solving defined only for an isolated set of points, using only arithmetic and algebra; not involving calculus |

antisymmetric definition
mathematicsA relation R is antisymmetric if,
for all x and y, x R y and y R x => x == y.
I.e. no two different elements are mutually related.
Partial orders and total orders are antisymmetric. If R is also symmetric, i.e.
x R y => y R x
then
x R y => x == y
I.e. different elements are not related.
