Subject: Final clubs

I think xorxes has a point. It seems you would have to
define at least one club to be final a priori to get
any consistancy. If we didn't have enough examples
here's another one:

A precludes membership in all clubs
B and C preclude membership in A

A is trivially final. Since B precludes membership in
A, it is final, if C is not final. A symmetrical
argument can be made for C. But if they are both final,
they allow membership in each other, and neither is
final. If neither is final, then they both preclude
mebership in A, the only final club, and thus are final.
