Pphase transition ⊥ Pdiscourse position


Equality

$$A \neq B$$
A is not equal to B

Subset

$$A \not\subseteq B$$
A is not a subset of or equal to B

Superset

$$A \not\supseteq B$$
A is not a superset of or equal to B

Intersection

$$A \cap B =$$
{ }

Union

$$A \cup B =$$
{ agent, condensation, deposition, freezing, ionization, melting, other, product, recombination, sublimation, truth, vaporization }

Symmetric Difference

$$A \ominus B =$$
{ agent, condensation, deposition, freezing, ionization, melting, other, product, recombination, sublimation, truth, vaporization }

Difference

$$A - B =$$
{ condensation, deposition, freezing, ionization, melting, recombination, sublimation, vaporization }

Difference

$$B - A =$$
{ agent, other, product, truth }
