              meet 𝟛.𝟏 𝟛.𝟏 = 𝟛.𝟏
              meet 𝟛.𝟏 𝟛.𝟐 = 𝟛.𝟎
              meet 𝟛.𝟐 𝟛.𝟎 = 𝟛.𝟎
              meet 𝟛.𝟐 𝟛.𝟏 = 𝟛.𝟎

An example of a (purely) relational structure is the 2 element structure with
the ternary NAE-3-SAT relation, R = S³ - {(0,0,0), (1,1,1)} (where S = {0, 1}).


```agda
data NAE3SAT : Pred (𝟚 × 𝟚 × 𝟚) 0ℓ where
  r1 : (𝟚.𝟎 , 𝟚.𝟎 , 𝟚.𝟏) ∈ NAE3SAT
  r2 : (𝟚.𝟎 , 𝟚.𝟏 , 𝟚.𝟎) ∈ NAE3SAT
  r3 : (𝟚.𝟎 , 𝟚.𝟏 , 𝟚.𝟏) ∈ NAE3SAT
  r4 : (𝟚.𝟏 , 𝟚.𝟎 , 𝟚.𝟎) ∈ NAE3SAT
  r5 : (𝟚.𝟏 , 𝟚.𝟎 , 𝟚.𝟏) ∈ NAE3SAT
  r6 : (𝟚.𝟏 , 𝟚.𝟏 , 𝟚.𝟎) ∈ NAE3SAT

nae3sat : structure S∅    -- (no operation symbols)
                    S0001 -- (one ternary relation symbol)

nae3sat = record { carrier = 𝟚
                 ; op = λ ()
                 ; rel = λ _ x → ((x 𝟛.𝟎) , (x 𝟛.𝟏) , (x 𝟛.𝟐)) ∈ NAE3SAT
                 }
