Original question and givens

Complete finite data: X=Fin(4)={0,…,3}. Candidate open family=[[0], [0, 3], [0, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]. Normalize repeated elements/subsets as sets and order subsets by their binary masks sum(2^x). A pair counterexample is the first ordered pair in that order. The open family and underlying set are different objects; sampling is not an axiom check. Give (n, normalized family, contains empty set?, contains X?, all binary unions closed?, all binary intersections closed?, topology?, union counterexample or none, intersection counterexample or none).

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

S001 · implies

Before

space=given;n=4;raw family=[[0], [0, 3], [0, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]

After

universe=[0, 1, 2, 3];canonical opens=[[0], [0, 3], [0, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]

Conditions: none

Type every candidate as a subset of the same Fin(n),deduplicate elements and members,and order by binary masks.The open family and underlying set are distinct data layers.

S002 · implies

Before

space=given;canonical family=[[0], [0, 3], [0, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]

After

self pairs are idempotent;unordered distinct pairs cover all ordered pairs

Conditions: none

Self pairs are covered by A∪A=A and A∩A=A.Commutativity means all distinct unordered pairs cover every ordered pair;this is not sampling.

S003 · implies

Before

space=given;A=[0];B=[0, 3]

After

union=[0, 3];in family=Yes;intersection=[0];in family=Yes

Conditions: none

Form union and intersection from the set definitions and test each against the original family.Preserve the original pair and result for the first failure.

After

union=[0, 1, 2, 3];in family=Yes;intersection=[0, 2, 3];in family=Yes

Conditions: none

S009 · implies

Before

space=given;empty=No;full=Yes;union closed=Yes;intersection closed=Yes

After

topology=No;first union failure=none;first intersection failure=none

Conditions: none

All four conditions are required.On a finite underlying set there are finitely many distinct opens,so an arbitrary union reduces to a finite distinct-member union,covered by binary closure and the empty union.The empty intersection needs the whole set.Vacuous binary closure does not waive empty/whole-set membership.

Result

(4, [[0], [0, 3], [0, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]], No, Yes, Yes, Yes, No, none, none)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
