Comments

When speaking of inequivalent Boolean functions, three groups of symmetries are typically considered: Complementations only, the Abelian group (2,...,2) of 2^n elements; permutations only, the symmetric group of n! elements; or both complementations and permutations, the octahedral group of 2^n n! elements. In this case only symmetry with respect to the symmetric group is appropriate because complementation affects the property of being a Horn function.

Also the number of non-isomorphic sets of subsets of {1..n} that are closed under union. - Gus Wiseman, Aug 04 2019

Example

From Gus Wiseman, Aug 04 2019: (Start)
Non-isomorphic representatives of the a(0) = 2 through a(2) = 10 sets of sets:
  {}    {}        {}
  {{}}  {{}}      {{}}
        {{1}}     {{1}}
        {{},{1}}  {{1,2}}
                  {{},{1}}
                  {{},{1,2}}
                  {{2},{1,2}}
                  {{},{2},{1,2}}
                  {{1},{2},{1,2}}
                  {{},{1},{2},{1,2}}
