Topic: Complete lattice redundant parameter

Isn't bot and top provable from supremum and infimum, respectively?
Mario Carneiro (Mar 31 2018 at 07:15):
Yes, and Sup
is definable from Inf
, and sup
is definable from Sup
. The reason these additional definitions are in the structure is that sometimes you want a different definitional reduction for the expression than the lattice definition gives you, i.e. Prop
is a complete lattice with top true
, but if it was defined with Sup
then that would be some cumbersome forall false thing
