Original question and givens

Use the complete finite topology on X=Fin(4)={0,…,3} with opens=[[], [0], [0, 3], [0, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]. Normalize subsets and repeated members as sets; order families by binary subset masks. Complements are relative to this same X. Closed does not mean not open. Give (n, all opens, all closed sets, all clopen sets), in subset-mask order.

  • G001 — Use the complete finite topology on X=Fin(4)={0,…,3} with opens=[[], [0], [0, 3], [0, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]. Normalize subsets and repeated members as sets; order families by binary subset masks. Complements are relative to this same X. Closed does not mean not open. Give (n, all opens, all closed sets, all clopen sets), in subset-mask order.

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

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

After

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

Conditions: none

Deduplicate subsets/families and order by masks.Check empty/whole membership and all binary union/intersection closure.On a finite underlying set,arbitrary unions reduce to finitely many distinct members.These tasks require an actual topology;invalid data is not used for later properties.

Result

(4, [[], [0], [0, 3], [0, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]], [[], [1], [1, 2], [1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]], [[], [0, 1, 2, 3]])

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