Formal concept analysis #
This file defines concept lattices. A concept of a relation r : α → β → Prop
is a pair of sets
s : Set α
and t : Set β
such that s
is the set of all a : α
that are related to all elements
of t
, and t
is the set of all b : β
that are related to all elements of s
.
Ordering the concepts of a relation r
by inclusion on the first component gives rise to a
concept lattice. Every concept lattice is complete and in fact every complete lattice arises as
the concept lattice of its ≤
.
Implementation notes #
Concept lattices are usually defined from a context, that is the triple (α, β, r)
, but the type
of r
determines α
and β
already, so we do not define contexts as a separate object.
TODO #
Prove the fundamental theorem of concept lattices.
