Nuprl Definition : real-closed-interval-lattice
For real numbers ⌜a ≤ b⌝, the reals in the closed interval ⌜[a, b]⌝
form a distributive lattice with meet ⌜rmin(x;y)⌝ and join ⌜rmax(x;y)⌝.
But they do not form a bounded distributive lattice with 0 = a and 1 = b
because we can't prove that ⌜rmin(a;x)⌝ is the same real as ⌜a⌝.
We can only prove that it is an "equivalent" real using the `req` relation
(that we display ⌜x = y⌝).
Thus the closed interval forms a generalized-bounded-distributive-lattice.⋅
