(In his definition, the author stipulated that S was a set of non-empty sets.) That may not matter in general - I'm not sure that the paper doesn't make D&D's "first great blunder" when towards the end it says that a relation is a class, but I wasn't trying to read it to find that out, really just to look at different kinds of projectionss and maybe find out what the fuss about cylinders in RT was all about!
