Sequential relation meets and overlaps have a fencepost error #453

Closed jakebeal closed 3 years ago

jakebeal commented 3 years ago

The sequential relation meets explanation in table 9 is explained in terms of real number locations, but sequences have space-filling integer locations. So [1..10] and [11..20] meet, while [1..10] and [10..20] overlap.

Make sure the constraints say this too.

Also, make sure it's clear that they only make sense when you're talking about the same Sequence.

It's not actually an error, just a lack of sufficient explanation about how to interpret. The constraints are fine, because they refer to table 9.
