Definition: The statement (e ELMT g)
indicates that the entity e
is a member of the collection g
, i.e. ELMT
corresponds to the element relation of naive set theory. Consequently, g ∈ pe(n+1)
must be a set (preextensional entity) of order n+1
compared to the element e ∈ pe(n)
, which is of order n
. In particular, if e
is an individual (or a set) then g
has to be a set (or a family of sets).
