is there no such thing as a cyclic order?
"does there exist an ordering that results in a cyclic relation among the ordered elements?"
someone can tell me "yes", in answer to the first question, and "no", in regards to the second, until someone runs hoarse from repition of the same, but it's not likely that i'm going to believe that someone -- now, and probably later.
it would be completely foolish of me, if my reasoning for that is based on hothing but "superstition", or if it's based on nothing but a tendency towards "dislike", of who might try to convince me otherwise [ad hominem], or a combination of those and any other useless motivations, but i cannot yet present a concrete proof for the supposition that "there exists an ordering for a set S, such that some [perhaps all] elements of set S exist in one or more cyclic relations to each other", and yet i am not willing to dismiss it.
this isn't the right place to write a rough draft in any attempt to better address this.
