SUMMARY
The discussion centers on proving generalized De Morgan's Law for a family of subsets indexed by a non-empty set B. The law states that the complement of the union of subsets is equal to the intersection of their complements: (\cup a\in B Sa)c = \bigcap a\in B Sac. The user attempted to demonstrate this by showing mutual subset relationships, successfully establishing that if an element is in the intersection of the complements, it is not in the union, and vice versa.
