Notes

ZFC does not prove that inaccessible, measurable, or supercompact cardinals exist, assuming the usual consistency hypotheses; their existence is adopted through additional axioms.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Strongly inaccessible cardinals form an early benchmark in the large-cardinal hierarchy.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Measurable cardinals are a stronger large-cardinal notion defined by a highly complete nonprincipal measure.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is a member or subtype of the broader source class.
