A law of trichotomy on some set X of numbers usually expresses that some tacitly given ordering relation on X is a trichotomous one. An example is the law "For arbitrary real numbers x and y, exactly one of x < y, y < x, or x = y applies"; some authors even fix y to be zero, [1] relying on the real number's additive linearly ordered group structure.
A trichotomy is a three-way classificatory division. Some philosophers pursued trichotomies. History. Important trichotomies discussed by Aquinas include the causal ...
A trichotomy can refer to: Law of trichotomy, a mathematical law that every real number is either positive, negative, or zero Trichotomy theorem, in finite group theory; Trichotomy (jazz trio), Australian jazz band, collaborators with Danny Widdicombe on a 2019 album; Trichotomy (philosophy), series of three terms used by various thinkers
This does not violate trichotomy as long as a consistent total order is adopted: either −0 = +0 or −0 < +0 is valid. Common floating point types, however, have an exception to trichotomy: there is a special value "NaN" (Not a Number) such that x < NaN, x > NaN, and x = NaN are all false for all floating-point values x (including NaN itself).

But on Jan. 17, Lind was stabbed to death on his property in Vallejo, police said. A Seattle man, Maximilian Snyder, 22, was arrested a week later and charged with murdering Lind.
So while some property managers and owners have invested enormous sums to remove old lead paint, others have exploited weaknesses in enforcement, they say. These landlords seem to view the inconvenience of court dates and occasional fines as simply part of their business model.
A total order or linear order is a partial order under which every pair of elements is comparable, i.e. trichotomy holds. For example, the natural numbers with their standard order. A chain is a subset of a poset that is a totally ordered set. For example, {{}, {}, {,,}} is a chain.
