We explore the core ideas of order theory—total vs partial orders, posets, Hasse diagrams, and the language of least/greatest versus minimal/maximal elements. Through simple examples like subset containment and divisibility, we see how infima, suprema, and lattices organize mathematics and intuition alike. We’ll also unpack the ubiquitous idea of duality—flipping the order to pair every theorem with its twin—with a nod to topology and category theory.
