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.

The formal concepts of a relation. A concept of r : α → β → Prop is a pair of sets s, t
such that s is the set of all elements that are r-related to all of t and t is the set of
all elements that are r-related to all of s.
