Los vínculos son simétricos — A~B es B~A. Los conjuntos son los grupos que surgen de los vínculos que se mantienen, y solo un conjunto ya formado puede recibir nombre, y lo pone una persona. Tus propios vínculos llevan una ✕ para retirarlos; no puedes quitar los de otra persona. Los conjuntos ordenan el muro y nunca condicionan la votación — dos tarjetas que hacen la misma AFIRMACIÓN se fusionan en la etapa Aclaración.
