thing we used, this means that we can define an "above/below" lattice like this
for any type for which we can check if two elements are equal. In Agda, I encoded
this using a parameterized module:

need to do a lot more work. We need tools to build up such complicated lattices!
The way to do this, it turns out, is by using simpler lattices as building blocks.
To start with, let's take a look at a very simple way of combining lattices:
taking the Cartesian product.
### The Cartesian Product Lattice
Suppose you have two lattices \(L_1\) and \(L_2\). As I covered in the previous
post, each lattice comes equipped with a "least upper bound" operator \((\sqcup)\)
and a "greatest lower bound" operator \((\sqcap)\). Since we now have two lattices,
let's use numerical suffixes to disambiguate between the operators
of the first and second lattice: \((\sqcup_1)\) will be the LUB operator of
the first lattice \(L_1\), and \((\sqcup_2)\) of the second lattice \(L_2\).
Then, let's take the Cartesian product of the elements of \(L_1\) and \(L_2\);
mathematically, we'll write this as \(L_1 \times L_2\), and in Agda, we can
just use the standard [`Data.Product`](https://agda.github.io/agda-stdlib/master/Data.Product.html)
module. In Agda, I'll define the lattice as another [parameterized module](https://agda.readthedocs.io/en/latest/language/module-system.html#parameterised-modules). Since both \(L_1\) and \(L_2\)
are lattices, this parameterized module will require `IsLattice` instances
for both types:

Elements of \(L_1 \times L_2\) are in the form \((l_1, l_2)\), where
\(l_1 \in L_1\) and \(l_2 \in L_2\). The first thing we can get out of the
way is define what it means for two such elements to be equal. That's easy
enough: we have an equality predicate `_≈₁_` that checks if an element
of \(L_1\) is equal to another, and we have `_≈₂_` that does the same for \(L_2\).
It's reasonably to say that _pairs_ of elements are equal if their respective
first and second elements are equal:
