Generator

opens

A generator in the logic library, called 5 times across 1 essays. Below: what it draws at its defaults and at each mode an essay asks for, what it checks while drawing, and everywhere it is used.

opens is one function. Everything below came out of it during this build, at parameters taken from the essays rather than invented for this page — so a figure here is the same figure a reader meets in an essay, and if the generator changes, this page changes with it.

At its defaults

A set, its negation, and its double negationFour bars on one number line showing an open set, its negation, their union, and the double negation.U¬UU ∪ ¬U¬¬UU is an interval with 1 point taken out; ¬U is the inside of what is leftU and ¬U together miss the endpoints, and ¬¬U hands them back — so U ∨ ¬U is not everything and ¬¬U is not U

show: "algebra"

A five-element Heyting algebra, with negation computedA Hasse diagram of five open sets with each element's negation named beside it.{a}{b}{a,b}{a,b,c}¬∅ = {a,b,c}¬{a} = {b}¬{b} = {a}¬{a,b} = ∅¬{a,b,c} = ∅the open sets of {a, b, c} when only {a} and {b} are open — 5 of the 8 subsets¬{a} = {b} and ¬¬{a} = {a}, so {a} ∨ ¬{a} = {a,b} rather than everything

What it checks while it draws

Collected by running the family and recording what it asserted, not written here. The count is how many separate times the claim was put to the test while these drawings were made.

Where it is called

Changing this generator changes every figure on this list. That is what makes the list worth publishing rather than keeping in a check script.
