Sequential describes the nature of the system. Subsequent is the next unit in line within the system. Or even a subsequent sequence after the first.

@COASTBC what do you mean by nature of the system?
English (US)
Sequential means one unit after the next in a line. A line is the nature of a sequence. So you describe a linear system of this type as a sequence.

@Vito212 . I apologize that is an overly complicated explanation. Imagine people in a line waiting to buy lunch. they are in sequence. One person then the next and so on. The person second from the front of the line is subsequent to the person ahead of him. The man behind him is subsequent to him and so on back toward the end of the line.

@COASTBC sorry, I still can’t tell the difference between them..
People in a line waiting to buy lunch. they are in sequence.
Doesn’t it mean that Sequence means “1,2,3,4,5”?
If sequence becomes an adjective-sequential, doesn’t sequential have the same mean as subsequent?

ok. 4 is subsequent to 5. 3 is subsequent to 4. The in line system of numbers 1,2,3,4 is a sequence.
