Order theory is the fundamental picture that gives rise to measure theory in general, and
more specifically probability theory, and information theory. The result is that the poset
that describes the state space gives rise to a lattice of statements, called the hypothesis
space, and a lattice of questions, which is called the inquiry space, via order-theoretic
exponentiation. When we solve problems we work in these three spaces. These spaces
describe the system, what we know about the system, and what we can potentially know
about a system. Much confusion has resulted from a lack of understanding of these three
spaces, the valuations they support and the roles that they play in problem-solving. This
work comprises a novel and unifying foundation for both inference and inquiry.
