There are about a thousand relations that        
can be generated from a deck of 46 cards,
presuming that we exclude reflexive                
statements (A=A), and pretend that that  
they're commutative.                     
                                               
   But really they're not:                                    
   The english "is" is not                                               
   the same as the                 
   mathematical "=".          "A is B" is    
                              not identical              
If we don't                   to "B is A"
exclude converse                                     
statements, then                   Compare:               
there are about                                           
two thousand.                        Darkness is Love       
                                                      
                                     Love is Darkness
