Question
What is the point of a partial order?
a.
We would like to generalize the properties of the relation x=yx=y to objects that are "basically the same," if not necessarily equal.
b.
We would like to generalize the properties of the relation x<yx<y to objects that do not naturally satisfy a total order in the way that numbers do.
c.
We would like to generalize the properties of the relation x≤yx≤y to objects that do not naturally satisfy a total order in the way that numbers do.
d.
There is no point. We make up mathematical objects for fun.
