It is a partially ordered set. That means it is a set with the following properties: a binary relation that is 1. reflexive 2. antisymmetric 3. transitive a totally ordered set has totality which means for every a and b in the set, a< or equal to b or b< or equal to a. Not the case in a poset. So a partial order does NOT have totality.

What does join mean in maths?

A join and meet are binary operations on the elements of a POSET, or partially ordered set. A join on a set is defined as the supremum with respect to a partial order on the set, provided it exists. A meet on a set is defined either as the unique infimum with respect to the partial order imposed on the set, if the infimum exists.
