turn your sets into 0-1 sequences
then put m(A) = banach limit of cesaro averages of A
that's not very constructive but i don't think you can do anything very constructive here

sometimes shit gets solved and settled, but new fields of math appear at a faster pace
people flock to the new thing, it's also much easier to get to the border of new research and get papers published if you're studying new shit instead of algebraic geometry

you should also be aware that research papers of the type "we solved the problem X which Y asked in his paper Z years ago" make up 10% of all papers
the rest is "we made up a problem for ourselves and then solved it" or "we made up some definitions and derived some consequences"
the second type is especially good for getting many citations
