Families of terms in qualitative information theory

The language of qualitative information theory is compositional: prefixes (meta-, para-, pseudo-, trans-, dis-, inter-) combine with a few bases. A row is a prefix, a column is a base; an empty cell means the combination does not occur in the dictionary. In the table: 106 of 135 QIT entries, 42 empty cells.
