Partial Orders in Topological Spaces
If P is a partially ordered set that has also been given the structure of a topological space, then it is customary to assume that {(a, b) : a ≤ b} is a closed subset of the topological product space . Under this assumption partial order relations are well behaved at limits in the sense that if, and ai ≤ bi for all i, then a ≤ b.

Famous quotes containing the words partial, orders and/or spaces:
“Both the man of science and the man of art live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it. Both, as a measure of their creation, have always had to do with the harmonization of what is new with what is familiar, with the balance between novelty and synthesis, with the struggle to make partial order in total chaos.... This cannot be an easy life.”
—J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)
“He was thoughtful and grave—but the orders he gave
Were enough to bewilder a crew.
When he cried “Steer to starboard, but keep her head larboard!”
What on earth was the helmsman to do?”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
