 While \(O\)-relations are indeterminate as to outcome, since the terms are symmetrically related, F-relations mark the selection of possible courses of action and so establish the linear, asymmetrical relations of agential action. Royce concludes: “Wherever a linear series is in question, wherever an origin of coordinates is employed, wherever ‘cause and effect,’ ‘ground and consequence,’ orientation in space or direction of tendency in time are in question, the dyadic asymmetrical relations involved are essentially the same as the relation here symbolized by [\(p \supset q\) with respect to \(y\)]” (1905, 407).
