Relating is the process of making a connection between arbitrary [[Information]] and therefore always forms [[System|Systems]].
From this follows the [[Inherent Principles of Continued Existence|Inherent Principle]]: Every relation is a path through which [[Information]] persists and changes.

## RRT Formalization
**Logic:** [[Relating]] establishes a [[Translation]] chain between [[Information]] points, forming a [[System]].
**Constraint:** Every [[Relating|Relation]] requires [[Energy]] to maintain. Each contributes to the [[System]]'s Systemic Bit-Rate $\sum(\sigma_i / \tau_i)$.

## In the Equation
**"The Connection"**
Each [[Relating|Relation]] adds a term to the systemic summation ($\sum$). The term carries the relation's own $\sigma_i$, $d_i$, $T_i$, and $\tau_i$.
