Jun 15, 2014 at 19:06 comment added Monroe Eskew @NoahS To answer your question about least Woodin, Magidor proved from Con(ZFC+supercompact) that there can be a supercompact with no strong compacts below. But supercompact is always a limit of Woodins.
Jun 15, 2014 at 18:59 comment added Noah Schweber At the same time, I think the global/local distinction might be misleading: measurability sounds like a local definition, but maybe the "right" way to think of it is as providing a global object.
Jun 15, 2014 at 18:58 comment added Noah Schweber Not related to your more specific question, but maybe still interesting: the existence of a strongly compact cardinal has strictly greater consistency strength than the existence of a Woodin cardinal; and in my view, the first is "local" and the second is "global." Of course, the relevant question is whether the least Woodin can be smaller than the least strongly comapct, which I don't know the answer to.
Jun 15, 2014 at 18:58 comment added Monroe Eskew You'd have to have a "local" axiom which is nonetheless more complex than usual, namely more than $\Sigma_2$.
