Order Relations
There are a number of mathematical concepts which act to define some semblance of an “order” on a set. I organize these concepts here and collectively refer to them as ordering relations. Formally, I require an ordering relation to be a binary relation which is at least reflexive and transitive. (I.e., at least a preorder.)
