    Supports→The translation from singular reference to 'the' singleton function into universal quantification over singleton functions introduces no inconsistency into mathematics.

    It is provable that the embedded sentence has the same truth value for any eligible value of s, eliminating indeterminacy.

    One of the technical advances of (1991a) and (1993d) was that they showed how a structuralist account of set theory was even possible. This part of the work was co-authored with John P. Burgess and A. P. Hazen. Given a large enough universe (i.e., that the cardinality of the mereological atoms is an inaccessible cardinal), and given plural quantification, we can say exactly what constraints a function must satisfy for it to do the work we want the singleton function to do. (By ‘the singleton f
