   Once again, and the other answers to your post show that I am right. You have   
   your own  notation and terminology, which   
   is different from those used in standard mathematics. One has to guess what   
   you mean and then in answer posts you reveal   
   in a piecemeal way some clarifications. If you are not able to write down your   
   questions and/or ideas in way that others   
   can understand them, you will get no useful answers.Nix für ungut!, but   
   that's the truth.
