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](https://mathworld.wolfram.com/CartesianProduct.html).

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 defining what it means for two such elements to be equal. Recall that
\(l_1 \in L_1\) and \(l_2 \in L_2\). Knowing that, let's define what it means
for two such elements to be equal. Recall that
we opted for a [custom equivalence relation]({{< relref "01_spa_agda_lattices#definitional-equality" >}})
instead of definitional equality to allow similar elements to be considered
equal; we'll have to define a similar relation for our new product lattice.

Turning once again to set theory, we can think of this operation like the
extension of the intersection operator \((\cup)\) to maps. This can be

Defining equivalence more abstractly this way helps avoid concerns about the
precise implementation of our maps.
Okay, but we haven't actually defined what it means for one map to be a subset
of another. My definition is as follows: if \(m_1 \subseteq m_2\), that is,
if \(m_1\) is a subset of \(m_2\), then every key in \(m_1\) is also present
