domain theory

Domain theory is a conceptual framework in computer science and mathematics that models how information or data elements relate and evolve over time. It focuses on understanding how complex information can be built from simpler parts, emphasizing notions like approximation, consistency, and convergence. Essentially, it helps in designing and analyzing systems that manage incomplete, evolving, or infinite data, such as programming languages, reasoning systems, and computational processes. By formalizing how data grows and updates, domain theory provides a foundation for ensuring these systems behave predictably and reliably.
