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 $X \equiv \mathrm{max}(x,A)=x$ |
