Preliminaries: relations and closures

References

I think everything I write in the preliminaries can be found in Birkhoff, "Lattice theory". Can anyone check? (I don't think I have easy access to a copy.

In particular, I think xR was written x^{\leftarrow}, with the relation R being implicit.

If so, we should add a reference to that.

Notation

The refinement calculus people use the relation in the reverse order: what I write \langle R\rangle, they write \langle R^\sim\rangle. (The same is true of [R].) I find it confusing, and since this is hardly "standard" notation one way or the other, I don't think this is important...
