SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the mathematical relationships between multisets and normal sets, particularly focusing on symmetry degrees and operations like multiplication and addition. It establishes that identical singletons allow multiplication, while unique singletons permit addition. The conversation suggests that there may be a new mathematical branch emerging from these concepts, as no existing branch explicitly addresses these relationships. The author seeks guidance on identifying this mathematical field.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic set theory concepts, including singletons, multisets, and normal sets.
  • Familiarity with mathematical operations such as addition and multiplication in the context of set theory.
  • Knowledge of symmetry degrees and their implications in mathematical structures.
  • Basic comprehension of mathematical notation and formal definitions.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the concept of symmetry in set theory and its mathematical implications.
  • Explore the properties and applications of multisets in combinatorial mathematics.
  • Investigate existing mathematical branches that study relationships between different types of sets.
  • Learn about the formal definitions and operations involving singletons and their role in set theory.
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, educators, and students interested in advanced set theory, particularly those exploring the intersections of multisets and normal sets.

Let x be a general notation for a singleton.

When a finite collection of singletons have the same color, we mean that all singletons are identical, or have the maximum symmetry-degree.

When each singleton has its own unique color, we mean that each singleton in the finite collection is unique, or the collection has the minimum symmetry-degree.

Multiplication can be operated only among identical singletons, where addition is operated among unique singletons.

Each natural number is used as some given quantity, where in this given quantity we can order several different sets, that have the same quantity of singletons, but they are different by their symmetrical degrees.

In more formal way, within the same quantity we can define all possible degrees, which existing between a multiset and a "normal" set, where the complete multiset and the complete "normal" set are included too.

If we give an example of transformations between multisetes and "normal" sets, we can see that the internal structure of n+1 > 1 ordered forms, constructed by using all previous n >= 1 forms:
Code:
[b]1[/b]
(+1) = {x}

[b]2[/b]
(1*2)    = {x,x}
((+1)+1) = {{x},x}

[b]3[/b]
(1*3)        = {x,x,x}
((1*2)+1)    = {{x,x},x}
(((+1)+1)+1) = {{{x},x},x}

[b]4[/b]
(1*4)               = {x,x,x,x} <------------- Maximum symmetry-degree, 
((1*2)+1*2)         = {{x,x},x,x}              Minimum information's 
(((+1)+1)+1*2)      = {{{x},x},x,x}            clarity-degree
((1*2)+(1*2))       = {{x,x},{x,x}}            (no uniqueness) 
(((+1)+1)+(1*2))    = {{{x},x},{x,x}}
(((+1)+1)+((+1)+1)) = {{{x},x},{{x},x}}
((1*3)+1)           = {{x,x,x},x}
(((1*2)+1)+1)       = {{{x,x},x},x}
((((+1)+1)+1)+1)    = {{{{x},x},x},x} <------ Minimum symmetry-degree,
                                              Maximum information's  
                                              clarity-degree                                            
                                              (uniqueness)

Can someone give me an address of some mathematical brach that researches these kind of relations between multisets and "normal" sets?

Thank you,

Organic

Since no one knows what mathmatical branch deals with connections between multisets and "normal" sets as I show in the previous post, I think maybe there is here a new Mathematical brach.
