Set Theory
We take a set to be an assemblage of definite, perfectly distinguishable objects of our intuition or our thought into a coherent whole.

- A set is unambiguously determined by the collection of objects that comprise it.
- Any property defines the set of objects having that property.
Wonderful thoughts though it is, native or Cantorian set theory is a weirdo behind its seemingly beautiful mask.
