Transitive Set
In set theory, a set A is transitive, if and only if
- whenever x ∈ A, and y ∈ x, then y ∈ A, or, equivalently,
- whenever x ∈ A, and x is not an urelement, then x is a subset of A.
Similarly, a class M is transitive if every element of M is a subset of M.

Famous quotes containing the word set:
“Artists the minute they set up as artists,
Before, that is, they are themselves accepted,
And boys the minute they get out of college.
I can’t help thinking those are tests to go by.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
