If A is dependent on B, then what is B's relationship to A?

Nothing. Possibly.

B is what A is dependent on, obviously.

B = A.Parent

Implies an authority hierarchy, though.
Determinant is the best I (or more correctly, the lovely Mrs Aldo) have come up with.

Not if A depends on B, though. Terminology is a right bugger to work with.

Well, in which context do you need it? Is it something mathematical?
I guess B could just be "the cause" of A, or something similar. Depends of what A and B are, really.

Multi-agent systems, specifically with recursive decomposition relationships. So A would be dependent on a capability of B, for example.

Both being dependent on each other... is a better relationship, no?

A >= B && B >= A
