Abstract Concept
A Class of Element is an Element whose inhabitants are themselves Elements: a type one universe level above its members. Formally, ClassOfElement u = Element (lsuc u), so a class at level u is a type whose instances are Element u things. This universe gap is what separates a class from its members and prevents the self-reference paradoxes of naive set theory - while still allowing, through cross-level reasoning (metaInstanceOf), the class of all classes to be an instance of itself. A Class of Element is the Predication Substrate's answer to the question "what is a category of things?" - not a predicate that returns true or false, but a type that collects its instances as inhabitants.
Element Nature of Class of Element: a Class of Element is either a Class of Entity or a Class of Relation
