Work in fuzzy modeling has recently made its way from the interval [0,1] of real numbers to the ordinal or even to the qualitative level. We proceed further and introduce relational measures and relational integration. First ideas of this kind, but for the real-valued linear orderings, stem from Choquet (1950s) and Sugeno (1970s). We generalize to not necessarily linear order and handle it algebraically and in a pointfree manner. We thus open this area of research for treatment with theorem provers which would be extremely difficult for the classical presentation of Choquet and Sugeno integrals.
