How can i predefine a new can.connect instance to a available set

@pYr0x what does Todo.getList({fail: true}) represent? Why should a todo belong in that list? Which todos should not belong in it?

You’d have to add a rule to your set algebra. If the rule for fail is simple, you can do something like:

new set.Algebra({
  fail: function(set1Value, set2Value, set1, set2){
    return ?
  }
})

Returning true will make everything belong in {fail: true}
