Adjoint Functor Theorem For Posets

The adjoint functor theorem for Posets is a specialized form of the Adjoint Functor Theorem that says that every Monotone, Meet preserving map f : X Y : 𝑓 𝑋 𝑌 f:X\to Y from an Inflattice has a Left Adjoint f ! : Y X : subscript 𝑓 𝑌 𝑋 f_{!}:Y\to X .

The proof is delightfully simple: every Inflattice is a Complete Category, and f 𝑓 f preserves all Limits as a Functor, so all that remains is to check the Solution Set Condition. However, the solution set condition trivially holds in a poset; in fact, the whole point of the solution set condition is to avoid collapsing categories down to posets!
