Ladder

Galois correspondence — the ladder

One essay so far against this idea. A ladder is the distinct arguments that stand against one idea, and this one has room to grow.
  1. The subgroups of a polynomial's symmetries, against the fields they name. Two lattices side by side, one of the subgroups of the symmetry group of the cube roots of two and the other of the fields between the rationals and the splitting field, drawn so that one is the other turned upside down.

    The lattice that runs the other way

    The symmetries of a polynomial's roots form a group, and the fields between the bottom and the top form a lattice. The two are the same picture, one of them turned over — a bigger group of symmetries fixes less, so it names a smaller field.
