lead me to the definition of a partially ordered monoid, or pomonoid: http://books.google.com/books?id=ZO5Z-zZijDgC&pg=PA248&lpg=PA248&dq=pomonoid+definition&source=bl&ots=lX2PietcDd&sig=k79BcAh0s5Y8OGC12Kclmn4Tkgw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=1Mr8U6HGKYu6ogTL3oGYAQ&ved=0CCYQ6AEwATgK#v=onepage&q=pomonoid%20definition&f=false
Pomonoid: if x <= y, then zx <= zy for all x,y,z in X. Integral Pomonoid if x <= 1 for all x in X.
Lemma: If you have an Integral Pomonoid, then xy <= x. yx <= x
