closure
     
        1.  In a {reduction system}, a closure is a data
        structure that holds an expression and an environment of
        variable bindings in which that expression is to be evaluated.
        The variables may be local or global.  Closures are used to
        represent unevaluated expressions when implementing
        {functional programming languages} with {lazy evaluation}.  In
        a real implementation, both expression and environment are
        represented by pointers.
     
        A {suspension} is a closure which includes a flag to say
        whether or not it has been evaluated.  The term "{thunk}" has
        come to be synonymous with "closure" but originated outside
        {functional programming}.
     
        2.  In {domain theory}, given a {partially ordered
        set}, D and a subset, X of D, the upward closure of X in D is
        the union over all x in X of the sets of all d in D such that
        x <= d.  Thus the upward closure of X in D contains the
        elements of X and any greater element of D.  A set is "upward
        closed" if it is the same as its upward closure, i.e. any d
        greater than an element is also an element.  The downward
        closure (or "left closure") is similar but with d <= x.  A
        downward closed set is one for which any d less than an
        element is also an element.
     
        ("<=" is written in {LaTeX} as {\subseteq} and the upward
        closure of X in D is written \uparrow_\{D} X).
