up:: Lattice

Let be a Distributive and Limited lattice.

Given , we seek to prove that, to any such that and implies that .

We have that

\begin{cases*} x \land y &= 0\\ x \lor y &= 1\\ x \land y' &= 0\\ x \lor y' &= 1 \end{cases*}

1)

Therefore, , by the Partial Ordering induces by the lattice.

2)

Therefore, .

Thus, , and every point in has a unique complement.
