2.3.8  Partial and total orderings We have not yet defined relations (df-rel 5707), but here we introduce a few related notions we will use to develop ordinals. The class variable 𝑅 is no different from other class variables, but it reminds us that typically it represents what we will later call a "relation".
Syntax	wpo 5605	Extend wff notation to include the strict partial ordering predicate. Read: "𝑅 is a partial order on 𝐴".
wff 𝑅 Po 𝐴
Syntax	wor 5606	Extend wff notation to include the strict total ordering predicate. Read: "𝑅 orders 𝐴".
