Definition

Let $S$ be a finite set.

Let $\mathscr B$ be a non-empty set of subsets of $S$.

Formulation 1

$\mathscr B$ is said to satisfy the base axiom if and only if:

\((\text B 1)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall B_1, B_2 \in \mathscr B:\) \(\ds x \in B_1 \setminus B_2 \implies \exists y \in B_2 \setminus B_1 : \paren {B_1 \setminus \set x} \cup \set y \in \mathscr B \)      

Formulation 2

$\mathscr B$ is said to satisfy the base axiom if and only if:

\((\text B 2)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall B_1, B_2 \in \mathscr B:\) \(\ds x \in B_1 \setminus B_2 \implies \exists y \in B_2 \setminus B_1 : \paren {B_1 \cup \set y} \setminus \set x \in \mathscr B \)      

Formulation 3

$\mathscr B$ is said to satisfy the base axiom if and only if:

\((\text B 3)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall B_1, B_2 \in \mathscr B:\) \(\ds \exists \text{ a bijection } \pi : B_1 \setminus B_2 \to B_2 \setminus B_1 : \forall x \in B_1 \setminus B_2 : \paren {B_1 \setminus \set x } \cup \set {\map \pi x} \in \mathscr B \)      

Formulation 4

$\mathscr B$ is said to satisfy the base axiom if and only if:

\((\text B 4)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall B_1, B_2 \in \mathscr B:\) \(\ds x \in B_1 \setminus B_2 \implies \exists y \in B_2 \setminus B_1 : \paren {B_1 \setminus \set x} \cup \set y, \paren {B_2 \setminus \set y} \cup \set x \in \mathscr B \)      

Formulation 5

$\mathscr B$ is said to satisfy the base axiom if and only if:

\((\text B 5)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall B_1, B_2 \in \mathscr B:\) \(\ds x \in B_1 \setminus B_2 \implies \exists y \in B_2 \setminus B_1 : \paren {B_2 \setminus \set y} \cup \set x \in \mathscr B \)      

Formulation 6

$\mathscr B$ is said to satisfy the base axiom if and only if:

\((\text B 6)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall B_1, B_2 \in \mathscr B:\) \(\ds x \in B_1 \setminus B_2 \implies \exists y \in B_2 \setminus B_1 : \paren {B_2 \cup \set x} \setminus \set y \in \mathscr B \)      

Formulation 7

$\mathscr B$ is said to satisfy the base axiom if and only if:

\((\text B 7)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall B_1, B_2 \in \mathscr B:\) \(\ds \exists \text{ a bijection } \pi : B_1 \setminus B_2 \to B_2 \setminus B_1 : \forall x \in B_1 \setminus B_2 : \paren {B_2 \setminus \set {\map \pi x} } \cup \set x \in \mathscr B \)
