In article <1992Nov3.041515.27732@CSD-NewsHost.Stanford.EDU> pratt@Sunburn.Stanford.EDU (Vaughan R. Pratt) writes: The iterative hierarchy is consistent with Z but not with ZF. Replacement (F) says in effect that any construction you can iterate yields a set. Hence if the universe is an iterative hierarchy it is a set. Anyone brought up on the iterative hierarchy was told a lie. I would have read replacement as saying that any construction you can iterate *through a set* will yield a set. Since the ordinals do not form a set, iterating through them to produce the universe need not yield a set. Josh
