How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T15785609 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: alternative set theory Context triple: [New Foundations for Mathematical Logic, proposes, alternative set theory]
-
A.
Zermelo set theory
Zermelo set theory is an early axiomatic system for set theory, introduced by Ernst Zermelo to rigorously formalize the concept of sets and avoid known paradoxes.
-
B.
Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory
Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory is the standard axiomatic framework for modern set theory, designed to avoid paradoxes and provide a rigorous foundation for much of mathematics.
-
C.
von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel set theory
Von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel set theory is an axiomatic set theory extending Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory by formally distinguishing between sets and classes, widely used in foundational studies of mathematics.
-
D.
set theory
Set theory is a foundational branch of mathematical logic that studies collections of objects, called sets, and underpins much of modern mathematics.
-
E.
von Neumann paradox in set theory
The von Neumann paradox in set theory is a foundational result showing that, under certain group-theoretic conditions, a set can be decomposed and reassembled into paradoxical subsets of equal “size,” illustrating the counterintuitive consequences of the axiom of choice.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
