According to wikipedia, Lattice is a data type that is represented as directed arrows that doesn't create loopy structures. This is also known as a special kind of POSet for Partially-ordered set. According to Dana Scott[1], it is considered to be the build ing block of all of computation. It is also used as the main instrument to reason able correctness or safety/liveness properties of complex systems.
