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.
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.
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.
Locale
A locale is a complete Heyting algebra, generalizing the notion of a space by considering the lattice of open sets and their relationships.
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.
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.
