EEE.  Note 8

Example 1.  John Sowa's "Top Level Categories" (cont.)

Just for orientation, Figure 4 sketches the hi and lo points of
the "unreduced extensional lattices" for the TLC example, namely,
the lattice of subsets Pow(A) and the lattice of propositions A^.
I have written the coordinate 25-tuples of A as commafree strings.

Figure 4.  Lattice of Subsets Pow(A) and Lattice of Propositions A^ = (A -> B)

That should be enough, lattice hope, about the spaces of "interpretations",
truth value assignments, or propositional models for a while.  Next we need
to establish a base camp for the assault on the summit of TLC's theory space.
