COMMENTS

Or, number of Moore families on an n-set, that is, families of subsets that contain the universal set {1,...,n} and are closed under intersection.

Or, number of closure operators on a set of n elements.

An ACI algebra or semilattice is a system with a single binary, idempotent, commutative and associative operation.
