Coverages<br />

This can be generalised using the notion of a coverage.<br />

A sieve on p is a downwards closed subset of ↓ p. A coverage Cov<br />

is a function that assigns to every p ∈ P a collection Cov(p) of<br />

sieves on p, in such a way that three axioms are satisfied:<br />

1 ↓ p ∈ Cov(p);<br />

2 if q ≤ p and S ∈ Cov(p), then S∩ ↓ q ∈ Cov(q);<br />

3 if S ∈ Cov(p) and Rq ∈ Cov(q) <strong>for</strong> every q ∈ S, then<br />

∪q∈SRq ∈ Cov(p).<br />

Example: the ¬¬-coverage.<br />

Cov(p) = {S ⊆↓ p : S is downwards closed and dense below p}.<br />
