If a is less than b and b is less than c, then it follows that a is less than c.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```nix
|
```nix
|
||||||
comparator a b && comparator b c -> comparator a c
|
comparator a b && comparator b c -> comparator a c

1. Transitivity of equivalence

First, two values a and b are considered equivalent with respect to the comparator if:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
!comparator a b && !comparator b a
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In other words, neither is considered "less than" the other.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Transitivity of equivalence means:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If a is equivalent to b, and b is equivalent to c, then a must also be equivalent to c.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```nix
|
```nix
|
||||||
let equiv = a: b: (!comparator a b && !comparator b a); in
|
let
|
||||||
|
equiv = x: y: (!comparator x y && !comparator y x);
|
||||||
|
in
|
||||||
equiv a b && equiv b c -> equiv a c
|
equiv a b && equiv b c -> equiv a c
|
||||||
```
