Definition df-poset 18262

Description: Define the class of partially ordered sets (posets). A poset is a set equipped with a partial order, that is, a binary relation which is reflexive, antisymmetric, and transitive. Unlike a total order, in a partial order there may be pairs of elements where neither precedes the other. Definition of poset in [Crawley] p. 1. Note that Crawley-Dilworth require that a poset base set be nonempty, but we follow the convention of most authors who don't make this a requirement.

In our formalism of extensible structures, the base set of a poset 𝑓 is denoted by (Base‘𝑓) and its partial order by (le‘𝑓) (for "less than or equal to"). The quantifiers ∃𝑏∃𝑟 provide a notational shorthand to allow to refer to the base and ordering relation as 𝑏 and 𝑟 in the definition rather than having to repeat (Base‘𝑓) and (le‘𝑓) throughout. These quantifiers can be eliminated with ceqsex2v 3530 and related theorems. (Contributed by NM, 18-Oct-2012.)
