Hi Jeff, To give you a answer to the question you have posted . The below post reflect my points of view Firstly the question COMMAND : REQUEST refer to the same object , one of which is forcing a person to perform the action and the other is giving him an option of performing the action. I feel summon : invite more appropriate because both refer to the idea of calling a person for maybe a dinner A king would summon his subject to his court.

I find the relation COMMAND : REQUEST as "command is a more authoritative action then request, i.e. if you don't have authority or influence or whatever, you can just request, but if you do, you can do more than that - command".
authorize : permit doesn't carry this relation, I even find them synonyms (authorize = grant permission to(
