Not very coherent – and also a rip-off of indexed.blogspot.com.

Those portions are probably in some other part of the third dimension of the space through which the graph slices.

Unfortunately, there is a more major fail here…..
B, C, and D are not necessary subsets of A, therefor those fields should have some portion outside of A.
(It is possible to fly, be impossible to get rid of, or be ex-human and not suck blood)

It doesn’t fail at making sense, but it fails readability. Bigger circles, fit the text inside, and everyone would be happy.

It’s a good graph, though.

Actually, if you go back and re-read Russell& Whitehead’s “Principia Mathematica”, you’ll discover that they basically defined algebra in terms of set theory. They’re more related than you think. (Hint – you can’t do much with “algebra” unless you have defined things like plus, minus, multiply, divide – which are easiest to define in terms of group theory
over various sets of numbers (integers, rationals, irrationals, complex, etc).

It was not until proposition *110.643, on page 83 of the second volume of
Principia Mathematica that Whitehead and Russell were able to prove that
1 + 1 = 2, let alone that 2 + 2 = 4. (In a book not otherwise noted for
its humour, it is interesting to note that immediately below the proof
is the following remarkable understatement: “The above proposition is
occasionally useful. It is used at least three times …”)

errr
Math fail
back to grade school for you
algebra and set theory are two distinct disciplines of maths (pretty much as unrelated as you can possibly get with in the field)

unfortunately is it incorrect. There is no pure “b”, “c”, or “d” on this chart as they are all part of the system “a”, so it should be corrected to be “ab” “ac” and “ad”.
