We explore Dedekind numbers, also known as M2, and their surprising equivalences to monotone Boolean functions, antichains and Sperner families. We'll trace the history of exact values (known up to n = 9), the computational hurdles that make n = 10 intractable, and the sharp asymptotic picture in which most antichains cluster around the middle layer of the Boolean lattice.
