I have some set which contains two elements "successor" and "predecessor". How can I name the set? Maybe "Sequent"?

  • In general, the name given to a set does not have to describe mathematical or logical properties among the elements of the set. So I am not even sure I understand the question so I cannot venture a sensible answer. Sep 19, 2017 at 23:52
  • off-by-oner?...

  • You might say "adjacencies".

Sequent seems to connote subsequent more than antecedent. For something more generic, how about Adjacent?
