Jul 8, 2014 at 11:51 comment added François G. Dorais Most formulations of $V = L$ make transitive containment redundant. Whether you use the Gödel $L_\alpha$, Jensen $J_\alpha$ or other hierarchies, these are transitive by design so formal statements for V = L, like $\forall x \exists \alpha (Ord(\alpha) \land x \in L_\alpha)$, immediately imply transitive containment. Transitive closure is a bit tricky but it often follows too.
Jul 8, 2014 at 11:46 comment added François G. Dorais TCo is transitive containment, which is not exactly the same as transitive closure. You need something like powersets with bounded comprehension or $Pi_1$-comprehension to get the transitive closure from TCo.
Jul 7, 2014 at 12:47 comment added Colin McLarty @EmilJeřábek Sure, or in other words I want to know if adding V=L to MAC makes Tco redundant.
Jul 7, 2014 at 10:10 comment added Emil Jeřábek In Mathias's paper, MAC includes transitive closure by definition. Do you mean ZBQC?
