FWIW the problem (or a slight variant of it) is known in complexity theory as learning of monotone boolean functions. To translate your problem to this language, you have to consider your sets as subsets of a common large set with n elements and describe the subsets by n-tuples. Of course, you might find more negative results than implemented algorithms in the complexity theory literature.

That constructor already does a bit of parsing of the data. So I'd be okay with having it call a function which generates the appropriate data. Although it would probably be better as a method of (the classes returned by) Set or Subsets since it is an operation on a set (with a specified function).

Best,
Travis

    Well I wanted to put it somewhere in the simplicial complex
    constructor, but I wrote to John Palmieri about that and I got no
    answer... I don't know... I am pretty sure that if I write it
    somewhere on its own it will just be forgotten forever.
