Definition talk:Set

I think it should be also mentioned here that set is distributive (not collective) aggregation of objects (this might be reason for avoiding naming set a "collection" :p). Example: Mars is an element of set of planets but any element of this planet, e.g. rock lying on it, is not an element of the set of planets anymore (distributivity); body is an element of car parts and windshield is an element of the body, so it is an element of the car (collectivity). I belive that this would give proper intuition for the notion. joel talk 19:16, 29 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Just sounds like overcomplication to me. Never seen these terms used in anything I've encountered. --prime mover (talk) 21:44, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
