Description

https://github.com/OpenLogicProject/OpenLogic/blob/82a31811a017a839d6415b3f45556eaeeb336cdd/content/computability/computability-theory/russells-paradox.tex#L15-L20

I think this should say "then $S \in S$ if and only if $S \notin S$".

Also: Is the "the set of all sets" trying to refer to S? I would have expected S to be described as "the set of all sets that do not contain themself".

Research direction

Open content/computability/computability-theory/russells-paradox.tex and read lines 15–20. Check whether the displayed statement should use the proposed “if and only if” wording and whether “the set of all sets” refers to S. Done means correcting the confirmed typo and clarifying the description if needed.
