    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Under AFA, ℘* and ℘* are distinct

    If WF=V is conceptually mandatory, then ℘* and ℘* are necessarily co-extensional, and their alleged distinctness under AFA reflects notational inflation rather than real mathematical difference.

    Key Terms

    AFA(Set theory; contrasted with FA)
    The Anti-Foundation Axiom, which permits non-wellfounded sets and under which greatest fixed points typically contain non-wellfounded members
    Co-extensional(describing when two things match up but aren't necessarily connected in a meaningful way)
    Having exactly the same members or applying to exactly the same things, even if for completely different reasons.
    Conceptually mandatory(describing logical necessity)
    Something that must be true based on the definitions and meanings of the words involved, not just because of how the world happens to be.
    Necessarily
    "Necessarily" means something must be true in all possible situations—it's not just true right now, but couldn't be false under any circumstances. For example, "2+2=4 necessarily" means there's no possible way 2+2 could equal anything other than 4. This contrasts with "contingently" true facts, like "it's raining today," which happen to be true but could have been false.

    Explore a random proposition
    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    Notational inflation(comparing mathematical representations)
    Using different symbols or names to describe something when the different descriptions actually refer to the same thing—making it look like there's a difference when there really isn't.
    WF=V(set theory axioms)
    A mathematical statement proposing that the set of all well-founded objects equals the set of all sets; this is a foundational principle in set theory.
    ℘*
    The smallest fixed point of the power set operation ℘; equals WF under AFA and equals V under FA
