THE REDUCTION OPERATOR FOR REDUCING A DISTRIBUTIVE LATTICE TO A MODULAR LATTICE OR A MODULAR TO A NONMODULAR LATTICE

This reduction operator (reducer) merges nonextremal elements with the same File number and reduces max in RANK by 1. Thus, using the lattice-coordinate, [Rank #, File #], WE HAVE:

By the subjector operation, one of modular element of Rank 1 is subjected to another one, raising the latter and max in Rank, achieving a nomodular lattice, as follows:
