According to your corrected definition

rowids(A) = Ox = 00 union A

Well, in your model rowids(A) is either 00 or 01, and your model might even turn out to be consistent. Note, however, nothing prevents us from defining

rowids(A) = Ox = 00 union A

where x is the set corresponding to the natural number - cardinality of A Received on Wed Aug 17 2005 - 22:41:08 CEST
