Is it necessary (or even appropriate) to over-divide such a short article into tiny sections? Also, the Q.E.D. thing is cute, but the hollow square notation is more consistent with mainstream mathematical practices.

[edit] Clutter

Is there a difference between a Sperner family and a clutter? (See the other wiki page?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.169.35.183 (talk) 09:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Uhhhmmm, seems like maybe not ... it seems we should merge that article into this one. An alternative would be to rename this article to be "Sperner's theorem", mention this theorem from the clutter article, and redirect "Sperner system" to point at "clutter". linas (talk) 21:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
