Reflexive Reduction of Relation Compatible with Group Operation is Compatible/Proof 1

Proof
By definition of reflexive reduction, for all $a, b \in S$:


 * $a \mathrel {\RR^\ne} b$ $a \mathrel \RR b$ but $a \ne b$.

By definition of the diagonal relation $\Delta_S$:
 * $a \ne b$ $\tuple {a, b} \notin \Delta_S$

Thus, considered as subsets of $S \times S$, we have:
 * $\RR^\ne = \RR \setminus \Delta_S$

By Diagonal Relation is Universally Compatible, $\Delta_S$ is compatible with $\circ$.

Thus by Set Difference of Relations Compatible with Group Operation is Compatible, $\RR^\ne$ is compatible with $\circ$.
