How is a spectrum supposed to not have a total ordering?

I'm pretty sure a spectrum is always totally ordered. You can't say "this point on the spectrum holds no relation to that point", because then it's not a spectrum.

Only 1D spectrums. In 2D spectrums there's only a maximum relative to a specific 1D projection
