$\kappa$-complete (Definition)

A structured set $S$ (typically a filter or a Boolean algebra) is $\kappa$ complete if, given any $K\subseteq S$ with $|K|<\kappa$ $\bigcap K\in S$ It is complete if it is $\kappa$ complete for all $\kappa$

Similarly, a partial order is $\kappa$ complete if any sequence of fewer than $\kappa$ elements has an upper bound within the partial order.

A $\aleph_1$ complete structure is called countably complete.
