Number/Class/Frege/Russell/Wittgenstein: Frege's Definition: Class of classes. A number is the class of all equal classes.
Intension/Class/Quantities/Frege/Russell/WittgensteinVsRussell/WittgensteinVsFrege: the two believed they could handle the classes intensionally because they thought they could transform a list into a property, a function. (WittgensteinVs).
Why were they so keen to define the number? >Numbers.
II 354
Measuring: For example, numerical equality of classes or
Calculating: e.g. equal number of roots of a 4th degree equation: one is a measurement,
the other a calculation. >Measurements.
Is there an experiment to determine if two classes have the same number? This may or may not be the case for classes that we cannot get a general view of.
II 355
It is a damaging prejudice to believe that when using strokes we are dealing with an experiment.
II 355
Classes/Assignment/Wittgenstein: Difference: Assignment in Russell's and in the usual sense:
1. by identity
2. how to assign cups and saucers by stacking.
In the second case, it does not mean that they cannot be assigned in any other way. Could the same be said about Russell's assignment? No, here no other allocation could exist, if that is not given. What I want to draw attention to is not a natural phenomenon, but a matter of grammar. >Grammar.
II 358
Allocation/Number Equality/Wittgenstein: the requirement that an actual allocation must be made to declare two classes equal in numbers is worrying.
II 367
Classes/Wittgenstein: we must not forget that we do not always talk about the same phenomenon when we talk about two classes containing the same number of elements. >Elements, >Sets.
How do you know if some pieces will disappear while they are being counted, or if others will not break?
II 419
Classes/Power Equality/Number Equality/Class Equality/Wittgenstein: Question: whether the classes must actually be assigned to the paradigm to have the same number, or whether this only needs to be possible. What is the criterion of existence of the possibility of their assignment?
II 431
Classes/Numbers/Wittgenstein: when it is said that you can just as well calculate with the classes as with the rational numbers, actually no substitution has taken place. The calculation is simply done with the rational numbers.
II 436
Class/Method/Wittgenstein: we must distinguish between a class of coin tosses and a method (rule). >Method, >Rules. - E.g. irrational number: is defined by a method - it is a process - the square root of two is not an extension but a special rule to produce a fraction.

Classes/Sets/Tractatus: 6,031 The theory of classes is completely superfluous in mathematics.
This is because the generality we need in mathematics is not the random one.
