NUMERIC describes objects on which arithmetic operations +, -, *, / are available, with the properties of a ring (associativity, distributivity, zero elements etc.). Kernel Library classes such as INTEGER and REAL -- but not, for example, STRING -- are descendants of NUMERIC. An application that defines a class MATRIX may also make it a descendant of NUMERIC.
-COMPARABLE describes objects on which comparison operations <, <=, >, >= are available, with the properties of a total preorder (transitivity, irreflexivity). Kernel Library classes such as CHARACTER, STRING and INTEGER -- but not our MATRIX example -- are descendants of NUMERIC.

For such classes it is again essential to permit effective features in a deferred class, and to include assertions. For example class COMPARABLE declares infix "<" as deferred, and expresses >, >= and <= effectively in terms of it.
