There is even one set that has `` barbecue '' written on it.

On a more abstract level, model theoretic arguments hold that a given set of symbols in a theory can be mapped onto any number of sets of real-world objects — each set being a " model " of the theory — providing the interrelationships between the objects are the same.

The conditions themselves can be stated in an abstract form, so that they make sense for any partially ordered set.

Classes are usually taken to be abstract objects, like sets ; ' class ' is often regarded as equivalent, or nearly equivalent, in meaning to ' set '.

Confucius, as an exemplar of human excellence, serves as the ultimate model, rather than a deity or a universally true set of abstract principles.

These categories surely have some objects that are " special " in a certain way, such as the empty set or the product of two topologies, yet in the definition of a category, objects are considered to be atomic, i. e., we do not know whether an object A is a set, a topology, or any other abstract concept – hence, the challenge is to define special objects without referring to the internal structure of those objects.

Although Cantor himself defined the set in a general, abstract way, the most common modern construction is the Cantor ternary set, built by removing the middle thirds of a line segment.

As a result, he demonstrated Hilbert's basis theorem: showing the existence of a finite set of generators, for the invariants of quantics in any number of variables, but in an abstract form.

An abstract polyhedron is a certain kind of partially ordered set ( poset ) of elements, such that adjacencies, or connections, between elements of the set correspond to adjacencies between elements ( faces, edges, etc.

In mathematics and abstract algebra, a group is the algebraic structure, where is a non-empty set and denotes a binary operation called the group operation.

Because abstract algebra studies sets endowed with operations that generate interesting structure or properties on the set, functions which preserve the operations are especially important.

The notion that philosophy, especially ontology and the philosophy of mathematics should abstain from set theory owes much to the writings of Nelson Goodman ( see especially Goodman 1977 ), who argued that concrete and abstract entities having no parts, called individuals exist.

While the first factor, which describes the bulk of the variation in a set of data, is more likely to represent something objectively real, subsequent factors become more and more abstract.

Though by no means a unified movement with a set of shared axioms or methodologies, Post-structuralism emphasizes the ways in which different aspects of a cultural order, from its most banal material details to its most abstract theoretical exponents, determine one another ( rather than espousing a series of strict, uni-directional, cause and effect relationships – see Reductionism – or resorting to Epiphenomenalism ).

Unlike Structuralists, however, the Post-structuralists questioned the division between relation and component and, correspondingly, did not attempt to reduce the subjects of their study to an essential set of relations that could be portrayed with abstract, functional schemes or mathematical symbols ( as in Claude Lévi-Strauss's algebraic formulation of mythological transformation in " The Structural Study of Myth ").
