Round 1: Tossup 6

Lotfi Zadeh defined “fuzzy” versions of these objects where the law of excluded middle doesn’t hold. (15[1])Atypically, the NF theory of these objects uses an IFF for the axiom of extensionality. Max Zorn showed that partially ordered (15[1])types (15[1])of these objects (15[2])must (15[1])have a maximal element. The (*) Cartesian product between two of these objects can be formatted using “builder notation.” Zermelo and Fraenkel’s theory for these things is called ZFC when including the axiom of choice. The cardinality of the empty one of these objects is zero. For 10 points, curly braces are used to write what unordered collections of elements? ■END■

ANSWER: sets [accept subsets; accept partially ordered sets or posets; accept set theory or Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory]
