Ah, yes. I know some none of these words.
Comment on Mathematicians Have Found The Ninth Dedekind Number, After 32 Years of Searching
chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 7 months agoI looked it up on Wikipedia.
In mathematics, the Dedekind numbers are a rapidly growing sequence of integers named after Richard Dedekind, who defined them in 1897. The Dedekind number M(n) is the number of monotone boolean functions of n variables. Equivalently, it is the number of antichains of subsets of an n-element set, the number of elements in a free distributive lattice with n generators, and one more than the number of abstract simplicial complexes on a set with n elements.
Pretty simple to understand. I mean, I understand it, for sure. Totally.

Good work everyone. I stay more with the stereo boolean variables, but the news about those lattices being free now is really great stuff. We did it

Ah, yes, those things, of course.
