   Format: Markdownthere have been recent edits at [[partially ordered dagger category]]. i edited a bit in an attempt to polish. Tim Porter mentions parially ordered groupoids here. I am not sure why. These are not dagger categories, are they? This should go in another entry then, I suppose?

   Format: MarkdownPerhaps one should have [[partially ordered category]] separated from [[partially ordered dagger category]]. @Urs: I do not quite see what you mean. Looking at the definition of dagger cat., it seemed to me that a groupoid gave an example of one. Am I confused? The type of ordered groupoid that Lawson looks at is the groupoid of partial symmetries of a set. The objects are the subsets of a set X and the morphisms are the bijections. The order relation is about one bijection being the restriction of another. Doesn't that give an example .... I am not thinking clearly and need another coffee so I may be confused. (Alternatively I may have had too may coffees!!)
