Extract

Consider an axiomatic set theory in which there is a distinction between “sets” and “classes,” only sets being allowable as elements. How can one define a finite sequence of classes? This problem was proposed to me by A. Tarski, and a solution is given in this note. We shall assume the axiom system Σ used by Godei in his study of the continuum hypothesis, and shall use the same notation.1
