L’unicité de cette contrainte nous semble expliquer la nécessité d’itérer l’opération « ensemble de » autant de fois que possible : les ensembles obtenus étant des objets, il faut alors prendre en compte les ensembles dont ils sont les éléments, puis les ensembles dont ces ensembles sont les éléments et ainsi de suite indéfiniment.
