+\subsection{Synthetic Ordering}
+
+While the use of synthetic guarded domain theory allows us to very
+conveniently work with non-well-founded recursive constructions while
+abstracting away the precise details of step-indexing, we do work with
+the error ordering in a mostly analytic fashion in that gradual types
+are interpreted as sets equipped with an ordering relation, and all
+terms must be proven to be monotone.
+%
+It is possible that a combination of synthetic guarded domain theory
+with \emph{directed} type theory would allow for an a synthetic
+treatment of the error ordering as well.
