Field of sets
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_sets
A field of sets is a mathematical structure consisting of a pair β¨X, πβ© where X is a set and π is a family of subsets of X called an algebra over X that contains the empty set as an element (identity), and is closed under the operations of taking complements in X, finite unions, and finite intersections.
Equivalently, an algebra over X is a subset π of the power set of X such that
β β π (π has the identity element)
βA β π. A' β π (π is closed under compliment)
βAB β π. A B β π (π is closed under intersection)
βAB β π. A βͺ B β π (π is closed under union)
