-Sets and (boolean) functions are equivalent. However, using both worlds in parallel, e.g. using sometimes $P x$ and sometimes $x \in P$ or even $\{x. P x\}$, you might run into issues during proofs as Isabelle has to perform certain steps in order to switch from one point of view to the other. Therefore you better choose wether to express your statements in predicate or in set notation and stick with it.+Sets and (boolean) functions are equivalent.
