When a value is always equal to itself (Ex: a=a)

• Reflexive

• Symmetric

• Transitive

• Closure

When a value can be rewritten such as a=b then b=a.

• Reflexive

• Symmetric

• Transitive

• Closure

A value can be rewritten such as if a=b and b=c, then a=c. Think of the transportation of a package.
