Theorem
Let $\family {a_i}_{i \mathop \in I}$ be a family of elements of the non-negative real numbers $\R_{\ge 0}$ indexed by $I$.
Let $\family {b_j}_{j \mathop \in J}$ be a family of elements of the non-negative real numbers $\R_{\ge 0}$ indexed by $J$.
Let $\map R i$ and $\map S j$ be propositional functions of $i \in I$, $j \in J$.
Let $\ds \sup_{\map R i} a_i$ and $\ds \sup_{\map S j} b_j$ be the indexed suprema on $\family {a_i}$ and $\family {b_j}$ respectively.
Then:
- $\ds \sup_{\map R i} \paren {\sup_{\map S j} a_{i j} } = \sup_{\map S j} \paren {\sup_{\map R i} a_{i j} }$
