Densely Ordered is Order Property

Theorem
Let $\struct {S_1, \preccurlyeq_1}$ and $\struct {S_2, \preccurlyeq_2}$ be isomorphic ordered sets.

Let $\struct {S_1, \preccurlyeq_1}$ be densely ordered.

Then $\struct {S_2, \preccurlyeq_2}$ is also densely ordered.

That is, the property of being densely ordered is an order property.

Proof
Let $\struct {S_1, \preccurlyeq_1}$ and $\struct {S_2, \preccurlyeq_2}$ be isomorphic ordered sets.

Let $\struct {S_1, \preccurlyeq_1}$ be densely ordered.

Let $a, b \in S_2$ such that $a \prec b$.

Then as $\phi$ is an order isomorphism:


 * $\exists p, q \in S_1: a = \map \phi p, b = \map \phi q$

Then by definition of densely ordered:


 * $\exists r \in S_1: p \prec r \prec q$

By definition of order isomorphism:


 * $\map \phi p \prec \map \phi r \prec \map \phi q$

That is:
 * $\exists c \in S_2: a \prec c \prec b$

where $c = \map \phi r$.

The result follows by definition of densely ordered.
