Choose one representative R for each equivalence class of infinite sets under finite symmetric difference. The colour ∣A△R∣mod2 changes on removing one point. Every cone [M]ω therefore contains opposite-coloured sets M and M∖{minM}. Either colour family is a non-Ramsey set of infinite subsets. Choice of representatives is essential to this construction, which does not claim a definable regular family.
