Forbidden subfamilies

Given a set theory we can classify families of sets based upon forbidden subfamilies. As with most classes determined by forbidden substructures the classification of families based upon forbidden subfamilies is characterized based upon the size of the largest forbidden subfamily. If the largest forbidden subfamily is of size one then the class is going to be a power set of some family often determined by cardinality. If the largest forbidden subfamily is of size two then the class is going to be a clique family because it is generated by the dependencies between pairs of elements. Another issue is the smallest forbidden subfamily. All families with size greater then the forbidden size will be accepted automatically. The two issues of the largest and smallest size of a forbidden substructure help to determine nature of subclass closed families.
