  A collection of simple closed curves in $\rr^3$ is called a negative slice if
it is the intersection of a flat-at-infinity planar Lagrangian surface and
$\{y_2 = a \}$ for some $a < 0$. Examples and non-examples of negative slices
are given. Embedded Lagrange cobordisms define a relation on slices and in some
(and perhaps all) cases this relation defines a partial order. The set of
slices is a commutative monoid and the additive structure has an interesting
relationship with the ordering relation.
