relational

Concerning mutual ties

Relational describes things involving relationships or connections between entities.

A relational database organizes information through links between tables.

In psychology, relational therapy focuses on interpersonal dynamics.

The word appears most often in technical contexts—computing, social science, philosophy—where the structure of connections matters as much as the things being connected.
