   > appeal to forcing, simply define arguments in symmetry then as to   
   > transfinite pigeonhole, what's the difference?" (March 11, 2013)   
   >   
   > "Via forcing, there are results of transfinite cardinals, not due   
   > transfinite cardinals, but only of, transfinite cardinals." (March 19,   
   > 2013)   
   >   
   > On the Universe, Irregularity, and Well-Foundedness   
   >   
   > "How can large cardinals be defined in terms of V (the Universe) when V   
   > isn't a set? How are they cardinals if they aren't of sets?" (March 11,   
   > 2013)   
   >   
   > "How can forcing's model be at once model and embedded in the model?   
   > Wouldn't it then be irregular?" (March 11, 2013)   
   >   
   > "The Universe would be irregular and be its own powerset. This is known   
   > as Cantor's paradox, that there can't be a universe as a   
   > regular/well-founded set because uncountality depends on   
   > well-foundedness..." (March 16, 2013)   
   >   
   > "Then, of large cardinals, it is somewhat a misnomer, cardinal, when   
   > they're not of regular/well-founded objects of the set theory, yet

   > On Kunen Inconsistency and Elementary Embeddings

   > "Then, the notion that the Kunen inconsistency establishes that there

   >   
   > "...if [models] are not, there are non-trivial elementary embeddings in   
   > the universe of them, under isomorphism, and if so, then universe as   
   > concrete model is irregular: and thus is the domain." (March 24, 2013)
