defined on the power set of a set (satisfying certain conditions, one of which was that the set itself was closed) but this had to be modified to fit the operator framework. The result is that portions of both approaches appear in the article, and sometimes these are in conflict, leading to the lack of clarity that you have perceived. I don't see a quick fix to this problem – certainly it will take more than just adding new material. I would be in favor of getting rid of the operator framework and going back to the original formulation (and since that was unsourced material anyway, I see no problem with doing so.)

several mathematical areas with slightly different meanings, but the same general "flavor". This article started out to be an umbrella article to cover all these specifics with fairly general language to emphasize the commonality. This meant that it needed to be described set-theoretically with respect to some generalized property

terminology, and in order to fit the new framework, some classical terms had to be mangled. I am not convinced that this was a good thing to do. To get back to your specific point. In some cases there is a universal set that arises naturally. For instance, in topology, the whole topological space is

Are you referring to the rewrite I did a few days ago? What about it do you not like? My main goal was to make it so that this page describes both the property called closure (a set satisfies this property if it is closed), as well as the closure operator (which maps each set to a closed set). If

A discussion of how this relates (or doesn't) to closures in functional programming languages might be useful. I don't consider myself qualified to discuss this yet. Although the concept of mathematical closure has been brought up in some lectures on Lisp I've seen, the closures in the language

My edits have, so far, been based solely on the definition of the first sentence of the article. However, you have raised a point that does need to be addressed, so I've now looked at the article as a whole, including its history, in order to respond. "Closure" is a concept that has been used in
1233: 309:-Side comment from random person: while 3 - 8 is indeed not a natural number, it may be a bit confusing because natural numbers are often confused with integers. I would recommend changing this to 3 / 8, as this would make it clear that it's not a natural number nor integer. 425:
If a set were to be {0, 1}, would that be closed under addition? 0+1 = 0, ok, 0+0=0, ok, but 1+1=2. Does this mean that it is not closed under addition? All the examples I can find use natural numbers or integers as sets. These don't matter for addition or division.

which would vary from one application to another. Then, in 2006, in an attempt to widen the applicability of the concept, the language about closure with respect to an operator on a set was introduced. Essentially this operator replaced the property

Sure - Have at it. My interest is incidental anyway and I was just thinking to clarify the section. But I can see how that was a bit limiting. Better someone who has a broader view do it, especially toward making the whole article consistent.

is a third concept that is presented in the article, and can be viewed as a generalization a closure operation. The problem is that, very often, the closure operator is much more difficult to specify than the closure operation. For example, the

Somewhat late answer: “closure” in programming means something else (“having no open bindings” rather than “containing all results of an operation on its members”, which can only apply to a set), but I don’t think it is worth mentioning —

I was confused by the previous version of the article. I have cleaned the article up, and it appeards from the resulting version that there is no need to split the article. On the opposite, one could discuss a merge here of

Closure property is a property which a set either has or lacks with respect to a given operation.A set is closednwith respect to the operation if the operation can always be completed with elements in the set .

As you point out, 1+1 = 2 ∉ {0,1}, so, no, our set is not closed under the usual addition operation for integers. In fact, no finite, nonempty set of integers other than {0} is closed under integer addition: let

Moreover, even if the results that I have sketched above are implied by the content of existing articles, these articles are much too technical for a non-expert who needs them.

You're right about that. I'm glad you agree with the article, which says in the first sentence that "For example, the natural numbers are not ". Thank you for your help. -

Natural numbers are not closed in subraction because one (natural number) minus (natural number) is zero (not a natural number).
