If there are not, there is not a unique solution even with the global requirement of preclusion. Then any club by itself could be final. I made the changes to get rid of xorxes' result that the final club had to be the set of all clubs to reachable by the definition -- this seemed wrong: (A, B) mutually preclusive, C precluded by neither and, indeed, with two members, one in A, the other in B. But {C} is a maximally preclusive set in the original sense and so would mean the definition gave no solution here. I suppose this amounts to taking the definition as having existential import, which, as you know, I seldom have much trouble doing. The union of maximally preclusive sets, by the bye, is not maximally preclusive, since it is a superset to each of the maximally preclusive sets. pc
