ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Recognizable set

Okay kiddo, think of a recognizable set like a special group of words. Now imagine that you have a machine that can read any combination of words you give it and decide if those words belong in that special group or not.

For example, let's say the special group of words is "all animal names". The machine would be able to tell you if a word like "dog" or "cat" belongs in that group because they are animal names. But if you gave it a word like "computer", the machine would say it doesn't belong because it's not an animal name.

That's basically what a recognizable set is. It's a group of words or symbols or numbers that a machine can identify as belonging to that specific group. It's like a rulebook that helps the machine know what's allowed and what isn't. This can be really helpful when you need to sort things or categorize them.
