(ii) Certain textual elements that orient the clause within the discourse, rhetorically and logically, are inherently thematic. (iii) Certain other elements, textual and interpersonal, that set up a semantic relation with what precedes, or express the speaker’s angle or intended listener, are characteristically thematic; this includes finite operators, which signal one type of question. (iv) These inherently and characteristically thematic elements lie outside the experiential structure of the clause; they have no status as participant, circumstance or process. (v) Until one of these latter appears, the clause lacks of the message. D.

These two values, interrogative and relative, are themselves related at a deeper level, through the general sense of “identity to be retrieved from elsewhere”; the “indefinite” ones illustrate a kind of transition between the two.
