"There is a set called the power set that contains all the sets in a space"

I don't think he's the best expositor and some of his terminology is crappy, but I understood the author from what I've read so far. I literally have no idea what you're trying to say; this has no meaning

There is a set. It's called the power set. It contains all the sets in a space.

The terms space and set are not synonymous. A space is defined on a set.

The collection of all subsets of a set X is called the power set and is typically denoted as P(X).

Replacing something confusing but loosely understandable with something even more confusing isn't an improving anything
