The cardinality conjecture for meta-spaces of sigma-sets

About 1 year old · traced to

Let A∈2\mathdsN0A\in 2^{\mathds{N}^{0}} and B∈2\mathdsNB\in 2^{\mathds{N}}. The meta-space generated from the sigma-set fusion A⊕BA\oplus B and the corresponding fusion with the antiset B−B^{-} is

⟨2A⊕B,2A⊕B−⟩.\left\langle 2^{A\oplus B},2^{A\oplus B^{-}}\right\rangle.

Meta-space cardinality conjecture. For all such AA and BB,

∣⟨2A⊕B,2A⊕B−⟩∣=2∣A∣⋅3∣B∣.\left|\left\langle 2^{A\oplus B},2^{A\oplus B^{-}}\right\rangle\right|=2^{|A|}\cdot 3^{|B|}.

The example preceding the conjecture has ∣A∣=∣B∣=2|A|=|B|=2 and yields 36=22⋅3236=2^{2}\cdot3^{2}. The general formula is presented as a conjecture, with no resolution supplied in the source.
