Control.Order

An order is a particular kind of binary relation. The order
relation is intended to proceed in some direction, though not
necessarily with a unique path.

Orders are often defined simply as bundles of binary relation
properties.

A prominent example of an order relation is LTE over Nat.

interface Connex : (ty : Type) -> (ty -> ty -> Type) -> Type

  A relation is connex if for any two distinct x and y, either x ~ y or y ~ x.
  
  This can also be stated as a trichotomy: x ~ y or x = y or y ~ x.

Parameters: ty, rel
Methods:

connex : Not (x = y) -> Either (rel x y) (rel y x)

Implementation:

Connex Nat LTE

interface LinearOrder : (ty : Type) -> (ty -> ty -> Type) -> Type

  A linear order is a connex partial order.

Parameters: ty, rel
Constraints: PartialOrder ty rel, Connex ty rel
Implementation:

LinearOrder Nat LTE

interface PartialOrder : (ty : Type) -> (ty -> ty -> Type) -> Type

  A partial order is an antisymmetrics preorder.

Parameters: ty, rel
Constraints: Preorder ty rel, Antisymmetric ty rel
Implementation:

PartialOrder Nat LTE

interface Preorder : (ty : Type) -> (ty -> ty -> Type) -> Type

  A preorder is reflexive and transitive.

Parameters: ty, rel
Constraints: Reflexive ty rel, Transitive ty rel
Implementation:

Preorder Nat LTE

interface StronglyConnex : (ty : Type) -> (ty -> ty -> Type) -> Type

  A relation is strongly connex if for any two x and y, either x ~ y or y ~ x.

Parameters: ty, rel
Methods:

order : (x : ty) -> (y : ty) -> Either (rel x y) (rel y x)

connex : Connex ty rel => Not (x = y) -> Either (rel x y) (rel y x)

order : StronglyConnex ty rel => (x : ty) -> (y : ty) -> Either (rel x y) (rel y x)
