👉 Mantissas are mathematical entities used in algebra, specifically in order theory. They are defined as a type of finite set that can be partitioned into two non-empty sets such that one is always completely contained within the other and each element belongs to exactly one of these sets. In this context, it refers to elements that are not just part of an ordered set but also have a specific order they belong to. Mantissas are fundamental in algebraic structures like groups, rings, and
