"Esse est percipi" (The perception of the object is that object.)
---
But Mathematics states, that objects exist separate from perception. Thus Math forces so called "objectivism" and is a pseudosicence. Lisp, on the other hand, states that objectes are "lambdas" or "point-free" - that is their perception itself.
You will become famous if you please famous people - and all famous mathematicians like axiomatic set theory. -- Paul Lorenzen, German philosopher and mathematician, who worked in game theory, constructive logic, constructive type theory and constructive analysis.

Mathematics is a fanaticism of mechanistic objectivity and objectification. Genuinely "subjective" agents are not acknowledged in hard science--not because they aren't palpable, but because there is an agreement, unstated or stated, not to mention them. -- Henry Flynt and Catherine C. Hennix

The mind of man being finite, when it treats of things which partake of infinity, it is not to be wondered at if it run into absurdities and contradictions, out of which it is impossible it should ever extricate itself, it being of the nature of infinite not to be comprehended by that which is finite. -- George Berkeley

>>9 define "contain"
Include its reference in the hash map.
define "contain itself"
Include in the hash map a reference to itself.
define "set"
Hash map of keys without associated values.
define "set of sets"
Set whose hash map contains references to other sets (which better be immutable).
Now you define "define".

Okey. Can you present us the exact code, you use to construct "set of sets which don't contain themselves"?
ny author who uses mathematics should always express in ordinary language the meaning of the assumptions he admits, as well as the significance of the results obtained. The more abstract his theory, the more imperative this obligation. In fact, mathematics are and can only be a tool to explore reality. In this exploration, mathematics do not constitute an end in itself, they are and can only be a means. -- Maurice Allais, La formation scientifique, Une communication du Prix Nobel d’économie,
