Lecture VI — Proposition 6.11 (Scott 1981, PRG-19): the subsystems of E form a #
domain
Proposition 6.11. For a given neighbourhood system E, the set of subsystems
{D ∣ D ◁ E}
forms a domain in its own right.
Scott derives this as a one-line corollary of the remark preceding it: the union
of a directed
family of subdomains of E is again a subdomain. We make this precise using the
project's
abstract representation theorem (Exercise 2.22, Exercise222.reprIso): a
family C of sets
that is closed under (i) non-empty intersection and (ii) directed union is
order-isomorphic to a
domain |reprSystem C| — exactly the route used for "the open sets form a domain"
(Exercise 3.25)
and "the function space is a domain" (Exercise 3.27).
The faithful translation runs as follows. A subsystem D ◁ E is, by
NeighborhoodSystem.ext and
the standing D.master = E.master, completely determined by its family of
neighbourhoods
{X ∣ D.mem X}. So we represent the poset ({D ∣ D ◁ E}, ◁) by the family
subFam E = { {X ∣ D.mem X} ∣ D ◁ E } ⊆ 𝒫(𝒫(Δ)),
ordered by ⊆. By Scott's remark (Subsystem.subsystem_iff_subset_of_common) the
subdomain
relation ◁ between two subsystems of E is just inclusion of their
neighbourhood families, so
({D ∣ D ◁ E}, ◁) ≃o (subFam E, ⊆) (subIso). The two closure properties hold:
- non-empty intersections (
subFam_sInter_mem): the intersection of a non-empty family of subdomains is the subdomaininterSyswhose neighbourhoods are the common neighbourhoods; - directed unions (
subFam_sUnion_mem): the union of a directed family of subdomains is the subdomainunionSys(Scott's remark) — directedness is used exactly to verify closure under consistent intersection.
The capstone subsystemReprIso : {D ∣ D ◁ E} ≃o |reprSystem (subFam E) …|
composes subIso with
Exercise222.reprIso, witnessing that the subsystems of E are (isomorphic to)
a domain.
Axioms. The combinatorial heart — subFam and its closure under
intersection/union, the
subsystem constructions interSys/unionSys, and subIso — is choice-free
(#print axioms ⊆ {propext, Quot.sound}). The final subsystemReprIso inherits
Classical.choice
solely through Exercise 2.22's representation isomorphism (the "for set theorists"
exercise, which
picks witnesses of non-emptiness and uses finite-set induction), exactly as
Exercise 3.27 does.
The representing family of neighbourhood-sets. #
The family of neighbourhood-sets of subdomains of E: a set of subsets of
Δ lies in
subFam E exactly when it is {X ∣ D.mem X} for some subsystem D ◁ E. This is
the concrete
family of sets that, by Exercise 2.22, represents {D ∣ D ◁ E} as a domain.
Equations
Instances For
Consistency is inherited from E (Definition 6.10's essential clause): if X, Y lie in a
subdomain's neighbourhood-set and X ∩ Y ∈ E, then X ∩ Y lies in it too.
subFam E is non-empty: E itself is a subsystem (Subsystem.refl), so its
own
neighbourhood-set {X ∣ E.mem X} is a member.
Closure under non-empty intersection. #
The intersection subdomain of a non-empty family ℱ of subdomain
neighbourhood-sets: its
neighbourhoods are the sets common to every member of ℱ.
Equations
Instances For
Closure under directed union (Scott's remark). #
The union subdomain of a directed family ℱ of subdomain
neighbourhood-sets: its
neighbourhoods are those lying in some member of ℱ. Directedness is what makes
this closed
under consistent intersection.
Equations
Instances For
The union subdomain is a subsystem of E (Scott's remark: the directed union
of subdomains is
again a subdomain).
The neighbourhood-set of the union subdomain is exactly ⋃₀ ℱ.
Closure under directed union (Exercise 2.22's hypothesis (ii)) — Scott's remark.
The poset of subsystems and its representation. #
The subsystems of E, ordered by the subdomain relation ◁, form a
partial order
(reflexive, transitive, antisymmetric — Definition 6.10's API).

Rebuild a subsystem of E from its neighbourhood-set 𝒮 ∈ subFam E. The data
(the mem
predicate · ∈ 𝒮 and the master E.master) depends only on 𝒮; the proof
obligations are

Instances For
The poset of subsystems is the family subFam E. The subsystems of E,
ordered by ◁,
are order-isomorphic to subFam E ordered by ⊆. A subsystem is sent to its
family of
neighbourhoods {X ∣ D.mem X}, and recovered by ofMem; order is preserved and
reflected by
Scott's remark Subsystem.subsystem_iff_subset_of_common.
