      Given two sets A and D, a relation R from A to D is a subset of \(A\times D\). R is a matching relation if for all a, b, c and d, aRd, bRc and bRd imply aRc. This paper analyzes the representation of any relation by a union of matching relations. Illuminating examples and interpretations showing that the theory can be used as a model of the social interaction of people are given.
