Hey, I like that definition.
(Hmm, I note that part of the mathematical version, specifically the
definition of the monothetic set, seems to be missing on page 10.
Argh.)

(Nitpick: it's MathML, which is a form of XML. Don't look at me; I
didn't name it.)

And now everyone knows why I haven't updated the Dinosauricon in
years. (Although if I ever do have time to revive it, the work done
for this paper will form an integral part of it. Also the work done
for another project which I hope to be announcing reasonably soon....)
