👉 The term "etatisms" is a term used in philosophy and mathematics to denote mathematical objects or sets that are not themselves sets but which can be combined with other mathematical objects to form new mathematical objects. It is often denoted using parentheses around the object being considered, such as (a) for a set A and b) for a function f : X → Y where X and Y are sets and f: X → Y is a mapping from X to Y.
