Locale
A locale is a complete Heyting algebra, generalizing the notion of a space by considering the lattice of open sets and their relationships.
Point of a Locale
A point of a locale can be understood as a frame homomorphism from the frame of opens of the locale to the frame of opens of the Sierpiński space.
Frame
In locale theory, a frame is a complete lattice in which finite meets distribute over arbitrary joins, thus generalizing the lattice of open sets of a topological space.
Frame Homomorphism
A frame homomorphism is a function between two frames that preserves finite meets (including the top element) and arbitrary joins (including the bottom element), analogous to continuous maps between topological spaces.
Sierpiński Space
The Sierpiński space is a topological space with two points, one open and the other closed. It is often used in locale theory to define points of a locale.
Sublocale
A sublocale is a generalization of a subspace in topology, defined by a subframe of a frame which is closed under arbitrary meets and directed joins.
Heyting Algebra
A Heyting algebra is a bounded lattice that is also a category in which every hom-set is a sublattice and is distributive, allowing implication operations.
Spatial Locale
A spatial locale is one that is isomorphic to the lattice of open sets of some topological space, which means it corresponds directly to our classical understanding of topological spaces.
