How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T17872424 — 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: Woodin cardinal Context triple: [Hugh Woodin, notableConcept, Woodin cardinal]
-
A.
Feferman–Schütte ordinal
The Feferman–Schütte ordinal is a large countable ordinal that marks the proof-theoretic strength of predicative arithmetic and analysis, serving as a key boundary in ordinal analysis and foundations of mathematics.
-
B.
Bachmann–Howard ordinal
The Bachmann–Howard ordinal is a large countable ordinal that serves as a key benchmark in proof theory, marking the strength of powerful formal systems extending predicative arithmetic.
-
C.
Vaught conjecture
The Vaught conjecture is an open problem in mathematical logic and model theory that predicts a precise restriction on the possible numbers of countable models of a complete first-order theory.
-
D.
Kripke–Platek set theory
Kripke–Platek set theory is a weaker, predicative subsystem of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory focused on sets that are explicitly constructible and often used in the study of admissible sets and recursion theory.
-
E.
continuum hypothesis
The continuum hypothesis is a central conjecture in set theory proposing a specific relationship between the sizes of the set of real numbers and the set of natural numbers, famously shown to be independent of the standard axioms of mathematics.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
