Sheaves for non-categorists - part 2

Take a set of ``worlds'', $W$, and a directed acyclical graph on $W$,
given by a relation $R \subset W \times W$. Let's call the functions
$W \to \{0,1\}$ ``modal truth-values'', and the $R$-non-decreasing
functions $W \to \{0,1\}$ ``intuitionistic truth-values''. If we see
$W$ as a topological space with the order topology induced by $R$, the
intuitionistic truth-values correspond to open sets.

The pair $(\O(W), \subseteq)$ is a Heyting algebra --- meaning that we
can interpret intuitionistic propositional logic on it --- and it is a
(bigger) DAG, and so we can repeat the above process with it, to
generate a (bigger) topological space $(\O(W), \O(\O(W)))$, which is
the natural setting for talking about ``covers'', ``saturated
covers'', and ``unions of covers''.

This presentation will be focused on understanding all these ideas
(and more!), mainly in the case where $W$ has three worlds forming a
``V'', and $R$ has two arrows pointing downwards. The operation of
``taking the union of a cover'' turns out to be a particular case of a
``Lawvere-Tierney modality''; the double negation is another
LT-modality.
