Comments

The transitive property of the know-link-mode is expressed in a whole’s ability to know not only its own parts, but also the parts of its parts, and so forth. The transitive property of the merge-link-mode is expressed in a thing-tree by a whole’s group-equality with the group of its parts, also holding true with the collection of all its parts’ parts. See Table 5, Link-modes Transitivity.
