Idea

A monoidal preorder is a monoid with a preorder such that the binary operation preserves the preorder.

This is the same as a strict monoidal category whose underlying category is thin.

Example

The set of natural numbers becomes a (symmetric) monoidal preorder with respect to addition and the usual ordering.
