View source for Order

Order is an asymmetric, or [[directed relation]]. It is such an important construct, it has been the essential building block for any computable programs<ref>{{:Paper/Outline of a Mathematical Theory of Computation}}</ref>. It is also the basis of physical time, as articulated by [[Leslie Lamport]] in his famous paper:[[Paper/Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System|Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System]]<ref>{{:Paper/Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System}}</ref>. Ordering as a physical phenomenon, has a lot to do with [[spacetime]]. It would be particularly relevant to cite [[Hermann Minkowski]]:
