I don't see how a logical theory can be based on the undefined.
Then perhaps you should learn some basic mathematical logic.
Perhaps you should learn how not to assume things.
You're right. I owe you a big apology. Just because you posted to a
mathematics group (sci.math), with a mathematical question about the
meaning of some mathematical terms of art, quoting a mathematics book
written by mathematicians, and a specific mathematician (Cantor), I
should not have assumed that you were looking for a mathematical
answer.
My deep and sincere apologies. I should have realized that it was just
a fickle twist of fate the directed your question to sci.math instead
of alt.usage.english, where it belonged.

Apology accepted. But you're wrong, it does belong here.
I was basically asking whether elements in a set need to share something in
common. That's all.
Why would you think that it would be more appropriate in alt.usage.english?
Because you have explicitly observed that you are not
in search of a mathematical definition?
