In chiralkine the meanings associated with physical identifiers depend upon the order in which they are considered. This is how sentences in languages work: the words “man bites dog” (a b c) and “dog bites man” (c b a) have different meanings. For example, if black is compared with white, the two are distinct. The result of comparing these two inputs can be black if distinct is tethered to black or white if distinct is tethered to white. Chiralkine makes both comparisons; outputting black when black is compared with white and white when that white is compared with that black.
