Dynkin system

A dynkin system is like a club where only certain things or rules are allowed. Think of it like a door that lets in only specific people or things.

In math, it's a special group of sets that follow certain rules. These sets must include the empty set, be closed under certain operations (such as taking complements or unions), and be stable under countable intersections.

It's useful in probability theory, where we want to find out the probability of certain events happening. The sets in the dynkin system can help us figure out which events are likely or not likely to happen.

So remember, a dynkin system is like a club with rules that only allow certain things, and it helps us figure out the probability of events happening.
