I would recommend either picking one or splitting it into two applications (they seem unrelated to me, and each could take up a whole summer). Otherwise, explain how one project requires the other (I don't see it). If both of your applications are good enough to be accepted (and they don't duplicate any others that are also good enough to be accepted), we will let you choose which one you want to do. For the set theory proposal at least, you might look at how other CASs do it. A last suggestion is to list a reference or references that you plan to use, especially for the more mathematically complicated parts.
