Abstract: We prove that the Wadge order on the Borel subsets of the Scott domain is not a well-quasi-order, and that this feature even occurs among the sets of Borel rank at most 2. For this purpose, a specific class of countable 2-colored posets mathbbPlay equipped with the order induced by homomorphisms is embedded into the Wadge order on the -degrees of the Scott domain. We then show that mathbbPlay both admits infinite strictly decreasing chains and infinite antichains with respect to this notion of comparison, which therefore transfers to the Wadge order on the -degrees of the Scott domain.
