Re: Questioning the defintions of set and element.

Hi, most definitions of element and set I have come
across, say something
like,

An element is any object of our perception or of our
thought.
A set is a collection of unique elements.

So whats a collection?
Wolfram says it's a multiset.
Wiki says it's a multiset.

So whats a multiset?
Wolfram says it's a set-like object.
Wiki says it's a generalization of a set.

This basically gives the following definitions.

A multiset is a collection of elements
A set is a multiset of unique elements.

So whats a collection?
Would this be a good definition of colletion,
A collection is any elements which have something in
common.

Or could someone give a better definition?





in TST (tommy1729 set theory)

x = [x]

this avoids such problems.
