Order Theory
Closure refers to a property of a set in which the application of a specific operation on elements of that set always results in an element that is also within the same set. This concept is essential in understanding how structures can be completed or extended, particularly when discussing the Dedekind-MacNeille completion, which involves creating a complete lattice from a partially ordered set by identifying the least upper bounds and greatest lower bounds of subsets.
congrats on reading the definition of closure. now let's actually learn it.
