{"# Compactness properties for complete lattices
For complete lattices, there are numerous equivalent ways to express the fact that the relation >
is well-founded. In this file we define three especially-useful characterisations and provide
proofs that they are indeed equivalent to well-foundedness.

Main results
The main result is that the following four conditions are equivalent for a complete lattice:
* well_founded (>)
* CompleteLattice.IsSupClosedCompact
* CompleteLattice.IsSupFiniteCompact
* ∀ k, CompleteLattice.IsCompactElement k
This is demonstrated by means of the following four lemmas:
* CompleteLattice.WellFounded.isSupFiniteCompact
* CompleteLattice.IsSupFiniteCompact.isSupClosedCompact
* CompleteLattice.IsSupClosedCompact.wellFounded
* CompleteLattice.isSupFiniteCompact_iff_all_elements_compact
We also show well-founded lattices are compactly generated
(CompleteLattice.isCompactlyGenerated_of_wellFounded).
