Let $X$ be a topological space and $x \in X$. Let $Z \subset X$ be the
connected component of $X$ passing through $x$. Consider the intersection
$E$ of all open and closed subsets of $X$ containing $x$. It is clear that
$Z \subset E$. In general $Z \not = E$. For example, let
$X = \{x, y, z_1, z_2, \ldots\}$ with the topology with the following
basis of opens, $\{z_n\}$, $\{x, z_n, z_{n + 1}, \ldots\}$, and
$\{y, z_n, z_{n + 1}, \ldots\}$ for all $n$. Then $Z = \{x\}$ and
$E = \{x, y\}$. We omit the details.

Let $X$ be a spectral space. The constructible topology is
Hausdorff and quasi-compact.
Hausdorff, totally disconnected, and quasi-compact.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Since the collection of all quasi-compact opens forms a basis for the
topology on $X$ and $X$ is sober, it is clear that $X$ is Hausdorff in
the constructible topology.
Let $x, y \in X$ with $x \not = y$. Since $X$ is sober, there
is an open subset $U$ containing exactly one of the two points $x, y$.
Say $x \in U$. We may replace $U$ by a quasi-compact open
neighbourhood of $x$ contained in $U$. Then $U$ and $U^c$ are open and
closed in the constructible topology. Hence $X$ is Hausdorff in the
constructible topology because $x \in U$ and $y \in U^c$ are
disjoint opens in the constructible topology. The existence of $U$
also implies $x$ and $y$ are in distinct connected components in the
constructible topology, whence $X$ is totally disconnected in the
constructible topology.

Let $\mathcal{B}$ be the collection of subsets $B \subset X$
