= Open locale

= Overt locale
{synonym}

An open, or overt, <locale> has a positivity map $\operatorname{Pos}:\mathcal O(X)\to\Omega$ left adjoint to the scalar inverse image $!^*:\Omega\to\mathcal O(X)$, satisfying Frobenius reciprocity. Thus $a\leq !^*\operatorname{Pos}(a)$ and positivity preserves arbitrary joins. Classically every locale is overt, with positivity meaning $a\ne0$.
