Does Not Precede

⊀ says the left item does not precede the right under the relation being used. It belongs in defined mathematical notation, not as a general “no”; ⊁ reverses the direction, while ≺ affirms it.

What ⊀ means

The left item does not come before the right one. In a ⊀ b, “a precedes b” is false.

“Precedes” means the order or sequence defined by the surrounding math.

Formal notation; its meaning depends on a relation defined in the text.

It is not a general “no.”
