Jun 7, 2022 at 12:56 comment added Ilya Bogdanov @MartinSleziak As far as I understand, we are not allowed to modify the members of the family, just to add new sets. So I javelin a family some of whose elements contain only $a$ (as I’ve added only $a$ to them), the others contain only $b$. This family is maximal, as you cannot add an infinite set to it, so what is the trouble?
Jun 7, 2022 at 12:51 comment added Martin Sleziak If we have the family $\mathcal M$ described in your answer, doesn't adding $\{a,b\}$ to each member of the family create a strictly larger almost disjoint family (thus contradicting the maximality)? In the other words, I am not sure that the family you've described is maximal - of course, I might simply have missed something.
