There are several sections here that people need to write and someone needs to add a little conclusion. I will not be around to work on this, so others should feel free to push and pull their changes. Consider this a public branch: don't force push at the risk of overwriting someone else's changes. Once it's all ready, fix up the date and squash merge to publish. |

If we keep the same wording here, perhaps adding a link to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially_ordered_set would help anyone scratching their head as I was

@StefanKarpinski I did a grammar/spelling/readability check. Feel free to ignore my suggestions. Who is writing up the conclusion? There is so much great stuff here, nice work everyone! |

@logankilpatrick I think you're welcome to push edits directly. I happened to independently make some of those same fixes when reading through, but more polish is better |
