Forms: form: fiascos

Etymology: Borrowed from Italian fiasco (“bottle, flask”), from Late Latin flasca, flascō (“bottle, container”), from Frankish *flaskā (“bottle, flask”) from Proto-Germanic *flaskǭ (“bottle”); see flask. “Failure” sense comes through French faire fiasco from Italian theatrical slang far fiasco (literally “to make a bottle”), of uncertain origin; perhaps from an expression fare il fiasco, meaning to play a game with the forfeit that the loser will buy the next bottle or round of drinks. Doublet of flacon, flagon, and flask.

That was irritating, but the counter-irritant to it had been that Lady Ambermere had then gone to Olga's, and been told that she was not at home, though she was very audibly practising in her music-room at the time.

A partial order on a set X is any reflexive, antisymmetric, transitive relation on X. In most cases, partial orders are denoted ≤.

The vector-clock size necessary to characterize causality in a distributed computation is bounded by the dimension of the partial order induced by that computation.
text: Consider an arbitrary finite set S. The family #92;mathcal#123;P#125; of all strict partial orders (asymmetric, transitive, cf. 1.8.3, p. 14) on S enjoys a remarkable property: any partial order P can be linked to any other partial order P’ by a sequence of steps each of which consists of changing the order either by adding one ordered pair of elements of S (imposing an ordering between two previously-incomparable elements) or by removing one ordered pair (causing two previously related elements to become incomparable), without ever leaving the family #92;mathcal#123;P#125;.
