We introduce a preordered version of D. Scott's equilogical spaces \cite{Sc}, called {\it inequilogical spaces}, as a possible setting for Directed Algebraic Topology. The new structure can also express `formal quotients' of spaces, which are not topological spaces and are of interest in noncommutative geometry, with {\it finer} results than the ones obtained with equilogical spaces, in a previous paper.
This setting is compared with other structures which have been recently used for Directed Algebraic Topology: spaces equipped with an order, or a local order, or distinguished paths, or distinguished cubes.
