Definition df-mrc 14517
 Description: Define the Moore closure of a generating set, which is the smallest closed set containing all generating elements. Definition of Moore closure in [Schechter] p. 79. This generalizes topological closure (mrccls 18663) and linear span (mrclsp 17050). A Moore closure operation is (1) extensive, i.e., for all subsets of the base set (mrcssid 14547), (2) isotone, i.e., implies that for all subsets and of the base set (mrcss 14546), and (3) idempotent, i.e., for all subsets of the base set (mrcidm 14549.) Operators satisfying these three properties are in bijective correspondence with Moore collections, so these properties may be used to give an alternate characterization of a Moore collection by providing a closure operation on the set of subsets of a given base set which satisfies (1), (2), and (3); the closed sets can be recovered as those sets which equal their closures (Section 4.5 in [Schechter] p. 82.)
