Let $S = \{1, 2, ..., 6\}$. We want to find the number of functions $F$ that map subsets of $S$ to subsets of $S$, such that for any subsets $A, B \subseteq S$, we have $F(F(A) \cup B) = A \cap F(B)$.

1. Problem Description
Let . We want to find the number of functions that map subsets of to subsets of , such that for any subsets , we have .
2. Solution Steps
Let . Then the given condition becomes
.
This means that is always mapped to by . Let .
.
If , then , and we get .
Let . Then , which implies .
Let . Then .
Since , we have .
This doesn't give us new information.
Let . Then .
We also know that .
Let . Then .
So , which is trivial.
Let . Then . This is also trivial.
Consider .
Let . Then .
If , then , and . So .
However, if , then , and .
So .
We also know that .
Let . Then , so .
.
We want to find the number of functions .
For each , we either have or .
We know that , which implies that for all .
We also know that is crucial.
Suppose .
Let . For each element , either or .
If , then . If , then .
For each , consider , .
Then , which implies .
If , then .
If , then .
If we have , then or .
We also have . The number of possible subsets is .
Suppose . Then . So, .
Let . Then . Let . Then .
This seems to be linked to whether is in .
Let . If , , then , so .
If , , then , so .
If , , then , so .
If , , then .
There are choices for . For each , we must have .
Consider the case . maps subsets of to subsets of .
Subsets of are and .
So, we need to find how many functions satisfy for all .
We have the following cases for :
, .
, .
, .
, .
