Abstract
We consider the following problem: Given a “universe” of primitive and composed entities, where non-primitive entities may contain other ones. How should we represent these entities, such that their containment relation is decidable? As an answer to this problem we propose a representation based on a Galois connection. An application of this idea in modelling human memory is given as well.
