Additional notes

Consider a domain $D$ = {a,b}, and the following relations over $D$:

* universality: {(a,a), (a,b), (b,a), (b,b)}
* emptiness: {}
* identity: {(a,a), (b,b)}
* difference: {(a,b), (b,a)}

These are binary relations over $D$, i.e. subsets of $D \times D$, or elements of $\wp(D \times D)$.

Note that universality and emptiness are resp. the top and bottom element of $\wp(D \times D)$.
