For binary relations $r,s,t$ to express $r \circ s \subseteq t$, we can introduce binary relation symbols $R$, $S$, $T$ and write formula For binary relations $r,s,t$ to express $r \circ s \subseteq t$, we can introduce binary relation symbols $R$, $S$, $T$ and write formula
-$+\begin{equation*} \forall x, y, z. R(x,y) \land S(y,z) \rightarrow T(x,z) \forall x, y, z. R(x,y) \land S(y,z) \rightarrow T(x,z) -$+\end{equation*}

To express $r^{-1} = r$ we would write To express $r^{-1} = r$ we would write
-$+\begin{equation*} \forall x, y. R(x,y) \leftrightarrow R(y,x) \forall x, y. R(x,y) \leftrightarrow R(y,x) -$+\end{equation*}

Relation $r$ is a partial function Relation $r$ is a partial function

We **cannot** express in this class that $R$ is a total function, or property like $\forall x. \exists y. R(x,y)$ because we need an existential quantifier after a universal one. We **cannot** express in this class that $R$ is a total function, or property like $\forall x. \exists y.
