Original question and givens

Use X=Fin(4)={0,…,3} and complete actual topologies A=[[], [0, 1, 2, 3]], B=[[], [3], [0, 3], [0, 1, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]. Normalize subsets by binary-mask order. Give (n, A, B, A⊆B?, B⊆A?, equal/A-coarser/B-coarser/incomparable). Compare families of open sets, not underlying-set sizes.

  • G001 — Use X=Fin(4)={0,…,3} and complete actual topologies A=[[], [0, 1, 2, 3]], B=[[], [3], [0, 3], [0, 1, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]. Normalize subsets by binary-mask order. Give (n, A, B, A⊆B?, B⊆A?, equal/A-coarser/B-coarser/incomparable). Compare families of open sets, not underlying-set sizes.

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

After

universe=[0, 1, 2, 3];canonical opens=[[], [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=A;empty=Yes;full=Yes;union closed=Yes;intersection closed=Yes

After

topology=Yes;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, 1, 2, 3]], [[], [3], [0, 3], [0, 1, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]], Yes, No, A-coarser)

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