Are quasi-sets (and therefore Schrödinger logic(s)) studied by mathematicians or are they purely in the domain of philosophers?

Context:

I'm a fan of different kinds of logic. I'm conflicted about whether different logics actually exist beyond, say, a philosophical oddity.

The Question:

Are quasi-sets (and therefore Schrödinger logic(s)) studied by mathematicians or are they purely in the domain of philosophers?

Clarifying Thoughts:

Aren't mathematicians philosophers in some sense?

Well, yes, and if they study this stuff, they're set theorists and/or logicians, probably, so even more so than others.

So, what am I really asking?

I am wondering - despite my better judgement (due to experience, see the downvotes) - about how "legitimate" quasi-sets are as actual, reputable mathematics.

I have Wikipedia and some articles I don't understand yet, readily available on Google scholar. This is niche stuff, I suppose, so citations aren't the strongest indication.

Why the proxy question, then?

Because mathematics is what I am trained in.

Motivation:

I don't want to end up a crank by studying things that might be questionable on a superficial level without due caution.


I care about quality questions. If this gets shot down as a poor question, I'm sorry, but I hope I could understand this stuff better either way.

Thank you.
