Order Theory
In order theory, a limit refers to an element that serves as a boundary or the least upper bound (supremum) of a subset within a partially ordered set. It represents the value that a sequence or net approaches as its index increases, capturing the idea of convergence within the structure of the poset. Understanding limits is crucial for exploring concepts such as adjoint functors and the behavior of algebraic and continuous posets, which rely on the properties of limits to establish relationships and mappings.
congrats on reading the definition of Limit. now let's actually learn it.
