Re: [lojban] Re: C-sets



More common in the world at large.  Ordinarily, if you say "set', it is assumed you mean C-sets (even if your hearer knows there are other kinds).  In Lojban, however, C-sets have always occupied a secondary place, behind whatever {lo broda} and the like referred to (and those have been so truly odd things at times).  The reasoning was that, since in set theory C-sets were used in a way that would not do what was needed, they could not be used in Lojban to do what was needed.   It turns out this is not true but does require some added work, so we stick with L-sets (or equivalent) which do things more easily and are finally respectable entities.  My point is just that C-sets can do somethings a bit more tidily that L-sets and should get used more in Lojban.

The draft at that link seems to treat C-sets as the more common, standard set theory kind, with L-sets as the less common kind, just the opposite of John's post above, AIUI.

Incase anyone else is looking for some more background to understand this:

PC: what your previous blog post, and this post, is missing is showing/explaining some examples of these different kinds of sets in Lojban. This would be quite helpful if you want to promote usage.
