Transmission

Teachers and students

Teaching passed from one person to another, in the direction of the arrows — not ancestry, and not succession.

What this means

In the direction the records give it. This is not biological ancestry and it is not institutional succession: a student who inherited no office still received the teaching, and an heir who received the office may have been taught by someone else entirely. It does not imply that teacher and student agreed.
