A partially ordered set is two-dimensional when there are two total orders <1​ and <2​ on its ground set such that
x<y⟺x<1​y and x<2​y.

Finite-local characterization of two-dimensional partially ordered sets

Two-dimensional partially ordered set
A partially ordered set is two-dimensional if every one of its finite induced suborders is two-dimensional. Encode two candidate total orders by propositional variables; every finite collection of the order, extension, and intersection clauses concerns a finite induced suborder, so the propositional compactness theorem supplies two global realizing orders.
