No, Independent Membership is a novel notion that holds between atoms, where atoms are existing AND empty things.
The result of the Independent Membership is a complex, where a complex is (Atom-A AND atom-B), such that the Atom-B property of (Atom-A AND atom-B) prevents from (Atom-A AND atom-B) to be only Atom-A, and Atom-A property of (Atom-A AND atom-B) prevents from (Atom-A AND atom-B) to be only Atom-B.
You will not find this novel notion in wikipedia, because wikipedia deals with already agreed things.
Do not try to find the key in order to get OM under the already agreed street light.
In order to get OM you have to go beyond the already agreed, and this is the essence of a paradigm-shift, which in this case is inevitable.
The Man and jsfisher and The Man do not make the inevitable step to OM, and as a result they are not there and stay closed under the current paradigm, which is too weak in order to get OM’s reasoning.
Their failure to get OM is spread all along this thread.
Perhaps you missed the point of the post. Since you claim n and k are atoms (things that are not sets) then n can not be part of k and k can not be part of n. Because of that, the rest of your reasoning is faulty.
