Jun 22, 2020 at 13:46 comment added Monroe Eskew @LSpice Good question. Consider an ultrapower of $\mathbb R$ by a nonprincipal ultrafilter on $\mathbb N$, call it $\mathbb R^*$. The interval topology on $\mathbb R^*$ is not first-countable. But the absolute value of differences gives a weak metric.

Jun 22, 2020 at 13:36 comment added LSpice What's an easy example of such an $(X, L)$ that can't be 'reduced' to $[0, \infty)$, in the sense that there is (well, isn't) an order-preserving (and, say, sub-additive?) map $L \to [0, \infty)$ such that the resulting $X^2 \to [0, \infty)$ gives the same topology?
Jun 22, 2020 at 11:37 comment added Dave L Renfro I don't know anything about this, but if you don't know where to begin and no one else has a good suggestion, then maybe try looking through some of Leonard M. Blumenthal's work, and the topics of metric lattices and metric semilattices.
