  Ideal (order theory) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Ideals are of great importance for many constructions in order and lattice theory.
In Stone's representation theorem for Boolean algebras, the maximal ideals (or, equivalently via the negation map, ultrafilters) are used to obtain the set of points of a topological space, whose clopen sets are isomorphic to the original Boolean algebra.
Ideals were introduced first by Marshall H. Stone, who derived their name from the ring ideals of abstract algebra.

 Axiomatic set theory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Initially controversial, set theory has come to play the role of a foundations of mathematicsfoundational theory/ in modern mathematics, in the sense of a theory invoked to justify assumptions made in mathematics concerning the existence of mathematical objects (such as numbers or functions) and their properties.
It is often asserted that axiomatic set theory is thus an adequate foundation for current mathematical practice, in the sense that ''in principle'' all proofs produced by the mathematical community could be written formally in set theory terms.
The most frequent objection to set theory is the mathematical constructivismconstructivist view that mathematics is loosely related to computation and that naive set theory/ is being formalised with the addition of noncomputational elements.

 Ideal (order theory)
While this is the most general way to define an ideal for arbitrary posets, it was originally defined for latticess only.
In this case, the following equivalent definition can be given: A non-empty subset I of a lattice (P,≤) is an ideal, iff it is a lower set that is closed under finite joins (suprema), i.e., for all x, y in I, we find that xy is also in I.
The principal ideal p for a principal p is thus given by p = {x in P

 Topos Theory
Press) Topos theory is an important branch of mathematical logic of interest to theoretical computer scientists, logicians and philosophers who study the foundations of mathematics, and to those working in differential geometry and continuum physics.
Topos theory is a subject that stands at the junction of geometry, mathematical logic and theoretical computer science, and it derives much of its power from the interplay of ideas drawn from these different areas.
It is not addressed to those who are trying to learn about topos theory for the first time, but rather to those who already have some acquaintance with the subject and who wish to deepen their understanding, or to learn about aspects of it which they have not previously encountered.

 Bohm & the implicate order
They both admired quantum theory's ability to predict phenomena, but could not accept that it was complete and that it was impossible to arrive at any clearer understanding of what was going on in the quantum realm.
The explicate order is a projection from higher dimensional levels of reality, and the apparent stability and solidity of the objects and entities composing it are generated and sustained by a ceaseless process of enfoldment and unfoldment, for subatomic particles are constantly dissolving into the implicate order and then recrystallizing.
Bohm believed that life and consciousness are enfolded deep in the generative order and are therefore present in varying degrees of unfoldment in all matter, including supposedly 'inanimate' matter such as electrons or plasmas.

In mathematics, a lattice is a partially ordered set (or poset), in which all nonempty finite subsets have both a supremum (join) and an infimum (meet).
The natural numbers in their common order are a lattice, the lattice operations given by the min and max operations.
In domain theory, one is often interested in approximating the elements in a partial order by "much simpler" elements.

 Applying TRIZ and the Theory of Ideal SuperSmart Learning to Computing Systems: Ultimate Ideal Autonomous Objects, ...
I had described the Theory of Ideal SuperSmart Learning as similar to a “theory of everything for product, personal, business, and institutional development.” The goal of the theory is “to know and understand everything from nothing and in no time.” This goal is based on utopic ideality.
The Theory of Ideal SuperSmart Learning in combination with TRIZ could be used as a resource for developing the following: new paradigms for computing systems; new thinking about objects; new framings for apparently unsolvable problems; new approaches to organizing ideas for strategic problem solving and innovation.
The key proposals of this paper are more widespread use of the model of “ultimate ideal autonomous (autonomic) object” for computing systems as well as case study applications of tools of TRIZ and the Theory of Ideal Supersmart Learning in the area of computing.

The last chapter gives an elementary introduction to singularity theory and then describes algorithms, using standard bases, to compute infinitesimal deformations and obstructions, which are basic for the deformation theory of isolated singularities.

This article treats the most basic definitions of lattice theory, including the case of bounded lattices, i.e., lattices that have unique top and bottom elements.
For any set A, the collection of all subsets of A (called the power set of A) can be ordered via subset inclusion to obtain a bounded lattice.
The non-zero natural numbers also form a lattice under the greatest common divisor and least common multiple operations, with the order relation representing divisibility.

 Platonic Forms
It is intended only to show that the theory is an intelligible and reasonable response to those problems.
If A is a certain woman and B is a certain statue and both “A is beautiful” and “B is beautiful” are true statements, one might be tempted to think of the woman and the statue as participating in or sharing some common property–beauty, despite their being otherwise quite different.
Because they are the patterns or ideal models to which we compare individual things or actions in order to determine how beautiful, just, or whatever, they are, he also refers to them as ‘Forms’ or ‘Ideas.’ For this reason, Plato’s view has been called idealism.

In what is probably her best work of nonfiction, Ayn Rand sets out to provide a _moral_ basis for capitalism, a social/political order in which the human rights to life and property are respected and there are no (other) limitations on freedom of trade.
That capitalism is today to some degree a _known_ ideal is in some measure due to the influence of Rand's ideas as represented in this volume.
But in political theory, she was on firm ground -- and she knew it.

It is the ideal bridge between the theory students need to put their experience in context and the practice which allows them to build on theoretical work where it matters: in the classroom.
It will also be an ideal companion volume to the author's Essential Teaching Skills in making an effective bridge from the theory to the practice of effective teaching.
