A dense linear order without endpoints is a linear order in which a third point lies strictly between every two distinct points and every point has points both below and above it.
Add constants to the theory of dense linear orders without endpoints. The three countable models have respectively a least upper bound for the named sequence, no upper bound, or upper bounds with no least one. The unbounded model is an atomic model; the bounded model with no least upper bound is an omega-saturated model. The remaining model omits the type over its least-upper-bound parameter .
A complete dense linear order without endpoints with the countable chain condition for a linear order, but with no countable order-dense subset.
The assertion that there is no Suslin line, equivalently that every complete dense linear order without endpoints satisfying the interval countable chain condition is separable. A Suslin tree gives a counterexample.
The theory of dense linear orders without endpoints eliminates quantifiers. A finite partial order isomorphism extends by placing each new point in the corresponding interval or ray.
