Def distributive class/Lesniewski: classes whose elements are precisely determined (and which cannot be arbitrary agglomerations) are distributive, e.g. elements of the set of teaspoons, only teaspoons, no handles.
LesniewskiVs: those classes do not exist (pro nominalism).
Def collective class/mereology/Lesniewski: a collective class are any (arbitrary) summaries, e.g. not only teaspoons, but also a collection of handles of teaspoons, as part of the set of teaspoons. Solution to Russell's paradox: mereological (collective) classes (clusters, sets) always contain themselves as an element.
