Abstract

The concept of a signpost system on a set is introduced. It is a ternary relation on the set satisfying three fairly natural axioms. Its underlying graph is introduced. When the underlying graph is disconnected some unexpected things may happen. The main focus are signpost systems satisfying some extra axioms. Their underlying graphs have lots of structure: the components are modular graphs or median graphs. Yet another axiom guarantees that the underlying graph is also connected. The main results of this paper concern if-and-only-if characterizations involving signpost systems satisfying additional axioms on the one hand and modular, respectively median graphs on the other hand.
