Element

Definition

Let $A$ be a set and let $x$ be an object. The object $x$ is an element of $A$ , written $x \in A$ , when $A$ contains $x$ . Otherwise, $x$ is not an element of $A$ , written $x \notin A$ . The proposition $x \notin A$ is the negation of $x \in A$ .

Remarks

Other phrases for $x \in A$ are " $x$ is a member of $A$ ", " $x$ belongs to $A$ " and " $x$ is in $A$ ". For $A = \{1, 2, 3\}$ , $2 \in A$ and $4 \notin A$ . An element of a set can itself be a set: $\{1\} \in \{\{1\}, 2\}$ , but $1 \notin \{\{1\}, 2\}$ .

Explanations

L1 human

The symbol $\in$ asks one yes or no question: is this object in the set? For the set of even numbers, $6 \in$ the set and $7 \notin$ the set.

What this node needs for W2

edge instance_of in: one example (0 of 1)
edge not_instance_of in: one non-example that fails one clause (0 of 1)

The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.

What depends on this
