A topological space contains a zero object, maybe other objects, and all unions ∪ & intersections ∩ of anything in the space. So taking the power set ℘ of {A, B, +} yields the “power set topology” which I drew above. AB+ is the 1 object and “nullset” O− is the 0 object.

Thue-Morse sequence tilings
