... It is just as important to know which objects are elements of a set as to know which objects are not elements of a set. If A ⊂ S, then we can define the complement of A in S as the set of all element in S that are not in A: A = {x ∈ S | x 6∈ A}. In other texts, complements may also be written as Ac ...

comments on the logic of constructible falsity (strong negation)
... Görnemann’s result suggests the conjecture that a classical model theory for the logic I have described may be obtained by allowing the domain to “grow with time”. This is in fact true. We may define a Nelson model structure as a triple (K, R, D), where K is a non-empty set of “stages of investigat ...

Set theory
Set theory is the branch of mathematical logic that studies sets, which informally are collections of objects. Although any type of object can be collected into a set, set theory is applied most often to objects that are relevant to mathematics. The language of set theory can be used in the definitions of nearly all mathematical objects.The modern study of set theory was initiated by Georg Cantor and Richard Dedekind in the 1870s. After the discovery of paradoxes in naive set theory, numerous axiom systems were proposed in the early twentieth century, of which the Zermelo–Fraenkel axioms, with the axiom of choice, are the best-known.Set theory is commonly employed as a foundational system for mathematics, particularly in the form of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice. Beyond its foundational role, set theory is a branch of mathematics in its own right, with an active research community. Contemporary research into set theory includes a diverse collection of topics, ranging from the structure of the real number line to the study of the consistency of large cardinals.
