This category contains results about Towers.
Definitions specific to this category can be found in Definitions/Towers.
Let $X$ be a set.
Let $T$ be any non-empty subset of $X$
Let $c$ be a fixed choice function on the non-empty subsets $T$ of $X$.
Let $\preccurlyeq$ be a well-ordering on $T$.
The well-ordered set $\struct {T, \preccurlyeq}$ is a tower in $X$ if and only if, for all $t \in T$:
- $t = \map c {X \setminus \map {S_t} T}$
where $\map {S_t} T$ is the initial segment of $T$ determined by $t$.
