Discrete orders🔗

Every set can be turned into a poset by defining to be

Disc : ∀ {ℓ} → Set ℓ → Poset ℓ ℓ
Disc A .Ob = ⌞ A ⌟
Disc A ._≤_ = _≡_
Disc A .≤-thin = A .is-tr _ _
Disc A .≤-refl = refl
Disc A .≤-trans = _∙_
Disc A .≤-antisym p _ = p

We can do that same thing using the inductive identity type.

Discᵢ : ∀ {ℓ} → Set ℓ → Poset ℓ ℓ
Discᵢ A .Ob = ⌞ A ⌟
Discᵢ A ._≤_ = _≡ᵢ_
Discᵢ A .≤-thin = hlevel 1
Discᵢ A .≤-refl = reflᵢ
Discᵢ A .≤-trans = _∙ᵢ_
Discᵢ A .≤-antisym reflᵢ _ = refl

This extends to a functor from into the category of posets.

DiscF : ∀ {ℓ} → Functor (Sets ℓ) (Posets ℓ ℓ)
DiscF .F₀ = Disc
DiscF .F₁ f .hom = f
DiscF .F₁ f .pres-≤ = ap f
DiscF .F-id    = ext λ _ → refl
DiscF .F-∘ f g = ext λ _ → refl

Furthermore, this functor is a left adjoint to the forgetful functor into

DiscF⊣Forget : ∀ {ℓ} → DiscF {ℓ} ⊣ Posets↪Sets
DiscF⊣Forget .unit .η A x = x
DiscF⊣Forget .unit .is-natural _ _ _ = refl
DiscF⊣Forget .counit .η P .hom x  = x
DiscF⊣Forget .counit .η P .pres-≤ = Poset.≤-refl' P
DiscF⊣Forget .counit .is-natural P Q f = ext λ _ → refl
DiscF⊣Forget .zig = ext λ _ → refl
DiscF⊣Forget .zag = refl

Least upper bounds🔗

If has a least upper bound in the discrete poset on then must be a constant family.
