Shelah's ded bound on the traces of a family of finite VC dimension. On an infinite ground set a family of finite VC dimension traces at most ded #A sets, and by mk_image_inter_range_cut_eq_ded the bound is attained. The infiniteness of A is not decorative: see exists_finite_ground_hasVCDimLE_not_mk_image_inter_le_ded.

    No cardinal function smaller than ded bounds the traces, which places ded at the exact strength of the bound.
