    Challenges→Hume's Principle does not require that the domain of numbers be as large as the domain of concepts

    The many-to-one mapping cited in support only holds for finite, co-equinumerous concepts, but Hume's Principle is unrestricted and applies to all concepts, including those individuating each distinct cardinal, forcing a domain at least as large as the full concept domain.

    Key Terms

    Co-equinumerous(as used in mathematics and philosophy)
    Having the same number of members or elements; two groups are co-equinumerous if you can pair up each item in one group with exactly one item in the other.
    Hume's Principle(Philosophy of mathematics, neo-logicism)
    A principle codifying the condition under which two concepts are equinumerous, namely when the number of objects falling under each concept is identical
    Many-to-one mapping(as used in logic and mathematics)
    A situation where multiple different things (inputs) all correspond to or point to the same single thing (output)—like how many different ways to describe a color might all refer to the same color itself.
    Unrestricted(logic/philosophy)
    Without limits or exceptions; applying everywhere and in all cases rather than just in special situations.

    domain(Both f1 and f2 have the reals as their domain)
