compact
     
        1. (Or "finite", "isolated") In {domain theory}, an element d
        of a {cpo} D is compact if and only if, for any {chain} S, a
        subset of D,
     
        	d <= lub S  =>  there exists s in S such that d <= s.
     
        I.e. you always reach d (or better) after a finite number of
        steps up the chain.
     
        ("<=" is written in {LaTeX} as {\sqsubseteq}).

        2. Of a design, describes the valuable property that it can
        all be apprehended at once in one's head.  This generally
        means the thing created from the design can be used with
        greater facility and fewer errors than an equivalent tool that
        is not compact.  Compactness does not imply triviality or lack
        of power; for example, {C} is compact and {Fortran} is not,
        but C is more powerful than Fortran.  Designs become
        non-compact through accreting {features} and cruft that
        don't merge cleanly into the overall design scheme (thus, some
        fans of {Classic C} maintain that {ANSI C} is no longer
        compact).
