AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the representation of a transitive closure using an adjacency matrix. Participants seek clarification on the values in the matrix, specifically why they vary from 0 to 2 in the context of direct transitive closure. The transitive closure is defined as a relation that can be represented by its own adjacency matrix, but confusion arises regarding its representation in a column format. The conversation emphasizes the need for a clearer explanation of the relationship between the adjacency matrix and the transitive closure values. Overall, the thread highlights a common challenge in grasping the concept of transitive closure in relation to adjacency matrices.

Could you explain what you mean by the table and especially by the column next to it?
 
It is an Adjacency matrix, on the right side is a direct transitive closure. Explain to me why the first one is 0, second - 1, third - 2 etc. I don't understand this transitive closure.

Transitive closure of a relation is another relation. It can be represented by its own adjacency matrix, but I don't understand how it is represented by a column.
