   Why is definition 6 equivalent to definition 1 for frames in compact space?

   Format: MarkdownItexI have found a counter-example to Definition 6 in [compact space](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/compact+space). Consider the set $Q$ of principal filters on the set $\mathbb{R}$ (opens of the frame of opens set in $\beta\mathbb{R}$) generated by sets $(-\epsilon;\epsilon)$ where $\epsilon$ passes through all positive reals. It's join on the set of filters the infinitely small neighborhood $\Delta$ of zero. But $Q\notin\Delta$. But the set of filters on reals is a compact frame ([see here](http://www.mathematics21.org/binaries/todd-notes.pdf)). A contradiction with definition 6. Most probably the counter-example is wrong and nLab is correct. But where is the error?
