it’s possible for it to be a total ordering and yet for there to be no gayest person. for example, the open interval (0, 1) is totally ordered and yet has no minimum or maximum. (the maximum would be 1, but it’s not included in the interval by definition.)

Can sets be dybamic in mathematics?

They can be dependent on time for example, which usually makes things pretty complicated. For each specific point in time, it is constant though.
