Finding a subclass of lattices in the literature

I suggest the following directions, although I am not sure they may help in your specific case. As you have a list for each $n$, you may consider the sequence defined by their length, and query The O …

Confusing notation for sets of unordered vs ordered pairs

Given two finite sets $X$ and $Y$, one may consider the ordered pairs $(x,y)$ with $x\in X$ and $y \in Y$. Then, $(x,y) \not= (y,x)$, and $(x,x)$ exists if $x\in X$ and $x\in Y$. One may also consider …
