150 words on 'Set'

The concepts around the word 'set' can vary depending of the frame in which it is studied. To be able to physically place something in a position would be defined as 'setting' (verb) which differs from the notion of being aready 'set' in stone which is an adjective. An interesting thought would be to have an organised collection of objects. Without any relationships between members of the collection, the items are nothing, but if they have a similarity (eg. colour, size, purpose etc..) they suddenly become a 'set'. Another meaning which could be derived would be the idea of 'setting off' (verb) on a journey/path or to be 'set' on path. Finally, an idea of 'setting' or going back to an original state or 're-set'; going from liquid to solid, hot to cold, high to low or forward or backwards in time in a transition.
