Let us extend your analogy: We are not currently interested in the
people per se, but how we are looking at them. For instance we might say
that Alice and Bob are in the same team so that I might want to have a
proposition "When I want to see the team I want to see Alice and Bob.",
but I might also want to say that " I want to see Bob and Cecil
together, because they are married.". I have been lately involved with
databases so one might also want to be able to say things like "If X and
Y are married then they should be visible together". (I am not
suggesting to add this, because it gets really complicated really fast,
and may not be terribly useful.)
