Consensual Extra-Dyadic Relationship (2) Definitions. Although I wrote this paper in Israel I used English mainly because many terms did not exist in Hebrew. I post in this blog without the additional examples and without the footnotes. I use the terms "Extra dyadic relationship" (edr) because they define the subject better. It is more common to use "extra marital relationship", or "cheating", or "adultery", and there are more. "Extra" refers to additional or not included. Other terms that are used are "trans-" or "inter-". "Dyad" means an intimate couple or a primary relationship. This is used instead of marriage. The concept of exclusivity is the norm in couples even if they are not married, and not all married are intimately coupled. "Relations" is suitable, and "sex" is not, since an edr might include sex and might not. Thompso
Consensual Extra-Dyadic Relationship (1) Contents This is the title of a paper that I wrote in 1992 for a course on the family in Haifa Unifersity. The paper was a survey of the literature. I read everything that was in the library that was relevant. There are 82 pages. The biliography has 6 pages. (Control + scroll up will enlarge the writing)
Riddles and infinities. Riddles and other things that many people don't know are among the things that I love. Here are some of them. 1. Cantor showed us that there are 3 inifinities of diffeent sizes. He called them aleph 0, aleph 1, and aleph 2. Since we can't count in order to see the differences he used a 1-1 match up. As an example If there is a bus where all the people were sitting and all the seats were full we would know that the number of people and seats are equal. The aleph 0 set contains the natural numbers (1, 2, 3.....). If we compare them to only the even numbers (2, 4, 6....) we see that every natural number has an even number that matches up (simply multiply by 2) and vice versa. these 2 infinities are equal in size. Any other set that we can list that will contain them all (fractions (1/1, 1/2, 2/2, 2/1 ......) for example) are also aleph 0, because we can match them up with 1, 2, 3.... simply by numbering the list.
