It is not the case that Basic Law V's presupposed one-to-one correlation thus violates a provable cardinality constraint, independently of Russell's Paradox.

Reasons For
1 perspective
Reason for
?
1.
Basic Law V need not assume bijection between all concepts and extensions—only that coextensive concepts map to identical extensions, a weaker claim.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
Cantor's theorem applies to completed infinite sets, but conceptual domains may not form the kind of completed totality required for the theorem's proof.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
The cardinality objection conflates metaphysical extension-formation with set-theoretic cardinality constraints that may not apply to Frege's logical universe.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
Reasons Against
1 perspective
Reason against
?
1.
Basic Law V maps each concept to a unique extension, creating a bijection that presumes cardinality parity between concepts and their extensions.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
2.
By Cantor's theorem, the power set of any set exceeds the set's cardinality, so no bijection can exist between all concepts and all their extensions.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
3.
This cardinality mismatch is a structural flaw independent of whether paradoxical concepts like the Russell set actually exist.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
