Transitive Set

Transitive Set

In set theory, a set A is transitive, if and only if

  • whenever xA, and yx, then yA, or, equivalently,
  • whenever xA, 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.

    They smote and fell, who set the bars
    Against the progress of the stars,
    And stayed the march of Motherland!
