- powerdomain — (theory) The powerdomain of a domain D is a domain containing some of the subsets of D. Due to the asymmetry condition in the definition of a partial order (and therefore of a domain) the powerdomain cannot contain all the subsets of D. This is because there may be different sets X and Y such that X <= Y and Y <= X which, by the asymmetry condition would have to be considered equal. There are at least three possible orderings of the subsets of a powerdomain: Egli-Milner: X <= Y iff for all x in X, exists y in Y: x <= y and for all y in Y, exists x in X: x <= y ("The other domain always contains a related element"). Hoare or Partial Correctness or Safety: X <= Y iff for all x in X, exists y in Y: x <= y ("The bigger domain always contains a bigger element"). Smyth or Total Correctness or Liveness: X <= Y iff for all y in Y, exists x in X: x <= y ("The smaller domain always contains a smaller element"). If a powerdomain represents the result of an abstract interpretation in which a bigger value is a safe approximation to a smaller value then the Hoare powerdomain is appropriate because the safe approximation Y to the powerdomain X contains a safe approximation to each point in X.

- readme file — (convention, documentation) A text file traditionally included in the top-level directory of a software distribution, containing pointers to documentation, credits, revision history, notes, etc. Originally found in Unix source distributions, the convention has spread to many other products. The file may be named README, READ.ME, ReadMe or readme.txt or some other variant. In the Macintosh and IBM PC worlds, software is not usually distributed in source form, and the README is more likely to contain user-oriented material like last-minute documentation changes, error workarounds, and restrictions. The README convention probably follows the famous scene in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" in which Alice confronts magic munchies labeled "Eat Me" and "Drink Me".
