Theorem
Let $L = \struct {S, \vee, \preceq}$ be an ordered set.
Let $x \in S$.
Then
- $x^\ll$ is a lower section.
Proof
Let $y \in x^\ll, z \in S$ such that:
- $z \preceq y$
By definition of way below closure:
- $y \ll x$
By definition of reflexivity:
- $x \preceq x$
By Preceding and Way Below implies Way Below:
- $z \ll x$
Thus by definition of way below closure:
- $z \in x^\ll$
Thus by definition:
- $x^\ll$ is a lower section.
