What is "intransitivity"

n. (context grammar English) The state or quality of being intransitive

n. the grammatical relation created by an intransitive verb [syn: intransitiveness] [ant: transitivity]

In mathematics, intransitivity (sometimes called nontransitivity) is a property of binary relations that are not transitive relations. This may include any relation that is not transitive, or the stronger property of antitransitivity, which describes a relation that is never transitive.
