Maximal extension in a set

Set

context $X$ … set
context $a\in X$
definiendum $\mathrm{max}(a,A)$
postulate $\mathrm{max}(a,A)\in X$
postulate $a\subseteq\mathrm{max}(a,A)$
forall $b\in X$
postulate $a\subseteq b\implies b\subseteq \mathrm{max}(a,A)$

Discussion

todo: write this down order theoretical (define it in terms of an ordering defined via $\subseteq$)

Idea

Given $a\in X$, the maximal extension $a'$ is the largest amongs $X$ which does contain $a$.

Predicate

predicate $x$ maximal in $X \equiv \mathrm{max}(x,A)=x$
