Notes

This convention includes 0\aleph_0 as the least limit cardinal. Some authors instead use “limit cardinal” only for uncountable alephs whose indices are limit ordinals.

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Limit cardinals are infinite cardinals that are not successors.

How to interpret this relation type

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

Limit cardinalAleph hierarchy

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

At limit indices, the aleph hierarchy takes the supremum of earlier alephs.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.
