SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on finding two disjoint, connected sets P and Q within the square defined by vertices (1, 1), (1, -1), (-1, -1), and (-1, 1) in R2. Set P includes the points (1, 1) and (-1, -1), while set Q includes (-1, 1) and (1, -1). The sets are defined using subsets of X = [-1,1]×[-1,1], specifically UR, LR, UL, LL, UA, and LA, which are all disjoint and connected. The solution confirms that both P and Q satisfy the conditions of being contained within the square, disjoint, and connected.
