Similarly, $\{x \in\omega : \text{`$x$ is transitive'}\}$ is also a successor set ($\cup x^+ = x$) so it is $\omega$.

We want to form $\bigcup\{x, \bigcup x, \bigcup\bigcup x, \dots\}$, this is a set by (Rep).

301
We need a function-class $0\mapsto x$, $1\mapsto\bigcup x$, $2\mapsto\bigcup\bigcup x$, \dots
Then $x \in t$, since $x \in w$ ($\{(0, x)\}$ is an attempt).

Given $a \in t$, we have $a\inz$ for some $z\inw$.

By $(\ast\ast)$ there's an attempt $g$ with $n^+ \in\dom g$.

Transitive closures allow us to pass from the large universe of sets, which is not a set itself, into a smaller world which is a set closed under $\in$ that contains the relevant sets in question.
If $y \in z$, then $y \in t$ (as $t$ transitive) and $y \notin u$ (by minimality), so $p(y)$.

By assumption $p(z)$ holds \Lightning\ of $z \in u$.

Given $\in$-induction, we can prove every set is regular.

According to the definition in section $2$, $\alpha^+$ is the unique (up to order-isomorphism) well-ordered set that consists of $\alpha$ as a proper initial segment and one extra element that is a maximum.

By Mostowski, this well-ordered set is order-isomorpic to a unique ordinal (its order-type).

Then $\gamma\subseteq\alpha$ ($\alpha$ is transitive) and hence $\in$ linearly orders $\gamma$\footnote{$\in$ linearly orders $\alpha$ and $\gamma$ a subset so $\eval{\in}_\gamma$ linearly orders it.}.

Given $\eta\in\delta$, $\delta\in\gamma$ then $\delta\in\alpha$ and so $\eta\in\alpha$ ($\alpha$ is transitive).

Since $\in$ is transitive on $\alpha$, we have $\eta\in\gamma$.
557
+
Since $\in$ is transitive\footnote{As $\in$ a well ordering.} on $\alpha$, we have $\eta\in\gamma$.
551
558
So $\gamma$ is a transitive set, so $\gamma$ is an ordinal.
552
-
\item If $\beta\in\alpha$, then $I_\beta = \qty{\gamma\in\alpha : \gamma\in\beta} = \beta$, so $\beta < \alpha$.
559

\item If $\beta\in\alpha$, then $I_\beta = \qty{\gamma\in\alpha : \gamma\in\footnote{We are well-ordered by $\in$ not $<$ so we use $\in$ to define initial segments} \beta} = \beta$ as $\beta\subset\alpha$ by transitivity of $\alpha$, so $\beta < \alpha$.
553
560
Any proper i.s. of $\alpha$ is of the form $I_\gamma$ for some $\gamma\in\alpha$.

In ZFC one can define more general infinite sums and products of cardinals. In the definitions below, as earlier, lower-case letters denote cardinals and upper-case letters denote sets with cardinality the corresponding lower-case letter.
P. Cohen proved in the 1960 s that if $\mathrm{ZFC}$ is consistent, then so are $\mathrm{ZFC}+\mathrm{CH}$ and $\mathrm{ZFC}+\neg\mathrm{CH}$. So $\mathrm{CH}$ is independent of $\mathrm{ZFC}$.

Extra stuff on cardinal exponentiation: \\

201
Cardinal exponentiation is not as simple as addition and multiplication.
201
202
For instance, in $\mathsf{ZF}$, $2^{\aleph_0}$ need not even be an aleph number, for instance if $\mathbb R$ is not well-orderable.
202
-
In $\mathsf{ZFC}$, the statement $2^{\aleph_0} = \aleph_1$ is independent of the axioms; this is called the \vocab{continuum hypothesis}.
203
203
$\mathsf{ZFC}$ does not even decide if $2^{\aleph_0} < 2^{\aleph_1}$.
204
204
Even today, not all implications about cardinal exponentiation (such as $\aleph_\alpha^{\aleph_\beta}$) are known.
