If  is an ordered vector space with positive cone

 then ![{\displaystyle [S]_{C}=\bigcup \left\{[x,y]:x,y\in S\right\}.}](./_assets_/df3e7f47df6a28baf83d8070bda6c75824db1ec6.svg) 
The map ![{\displaystyle S\mapsto [S]_{C}}](./_assets_/abd2210af4326a02d73cfb69f76990b4a9a8540c.svg) is increasing; that is, if
