 139/-- A comparison operator is **non-trivial** if there exists at least one
 140positive ratio with non-zero cost. (Without this assumption the constant zero
 141function vacuously satisfies all the constraints.) -/

 145/-- A comparison operator **satisfies the laws of logic** if all four
 146Aristotelian constraints hold, together with scale invariance (the bridge
 147from two-argument to one-argument form) and non-triviality (so that the
 148derived cost is not vacuously zero). -/

 159The four Aristotelian constraints, applied to the derived cost function
 160F(r) := C(r, 1), produce the hypotheses of the d'Alembert Inevitability
