   Definition

   The dissolution locale $\mathfrak{C}L$ of a locale $L$ is defined as the poset of its sublocales (equivalently: nuclei on $L$) equipped with the relation of reverse inclusion.

   There is a canonical morphism of locales

   $$\iota\colon\mathfrak{C}L \to L$$

   such that the map $\iota^*$ sends an open $a\in L$ to the open in $\mathfrak{C}L$ given by the open sublocale of $a$.

   Interpretation

   The map $\mathfrak{C}L\to L$ can be considered an analogue of the canonical map $T_d \to T$ for a topological space $T$, where $T_d$ is the underlying set of $T$ equipped with the discrete topology.

   In particular, discontinuous maps $L\to M$ could be defined as morphisms of locales $\mathfrak{C}L\to M$, see Picado–Pultr, XIV.7.3.
