Jul 6, 2014 at 23:26 comment added Joel David Hamkins Corrado, my understanding is that Mathias has proved that Z and also Mac do not prove that every set has a transitive closure. That was very surprising, since everyone thinks of $V_{\omega+\omega}$ as a "typical" kind of model of Z, but Mathias's models are far weirder. The question here is whether V=L is sufficient to rule out those pathologies. Of course the expectation is that it is, but this probably depends on exactly how $V=L$ is formulated, since in these weak theories, there are issues.
Jul 6, 2014 at 23:13 comment added Emil Jeřábek ZF^- proves the existence of transitive closures, and you are using this fact throughout the whole argument, starting with the “As Kunen has proved...”. So, I fail to see how this answers the question.
Jul 6, 2014 at 23:09 comment added Colin McLarty Thank you. But I am asking when V is closed under transitive closure, not just when there is inner model with transitive closures.
