Idea

The double power set construction 𝒫(𝒫(X))\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{P}(X)) on a set XX. The double power set represents the set of all subsets of a set XX, and is important in numerous concepts in topology, such as in the definitions of a filter, a topological space, a continuous function, and a complete space.

The double power set is discussed in chapter 18 of:
