      A partially ordered set means a pair (P,\succ) consisting of a set P and a partial order \succ in P. As usual, when the meaning is clear, we may suppress the notation of "\succ" and speak of the partially ordered set P.
      The ordered fields defined earlier are easily seen to be examples of partially ordered sets.
