Combinatorial configurations may generally be phrased in terms of arrangements of objects into sets subject to certain conditions. In view of this, the question arises as to whether given a set S and its power-set Us (the class of all subsets of S), it might be possible to structure Us in a combinatorially significant manner. This paper proposes and investigates one such structuring achieved by defining a distance function over US. Given A, B in Us , define their distance by where N(E) denotes the number of elements in E, + ∞ being an admissible value.
