Jun 30, 2016 at 10:38 comment added Thomas Benjamin (cont.) really classes of well-ordered sets, and the Kunen inconsistency holds of course for these. Since for $<$$WF$,$\in$$>$, $\in$ is rigid for $WF$ (since $WF$ is a transitive class), I conjectured that there are no nontrivial elementary embeddings $j$:$WF$$\rightarrow$$WF$ and asked essentially whether the results of Theorem 1 of the paper in question can, in fact be extended to the class $WF$ (a closer look at the theorem suggests--probably not....).
Jun 30, 2016 at 9:49 comment added Thomas Benjamin Since $V_{ZF}$=$WF$ and $V_{ZFC}$=$WO$ ($WO$=the class of all well-ordered sets), the $V$ for $ZFC^{-f}$ is still a class of well-orderd sets (since Choice still holds for $ZFC^{-f}$). Recall that in the paper mentioned, the theorem ("Work in $GBC^{-f}$ or $ZFC^{-f}$. Then there is no nontrivial $\Sigma_1$-elementary embedding $j$:$WF$$\rightarrow$$WF$.") was billed as stating that the Kunen inconsistency still holds for the class $WF$ of $GBC^{-f}$ or $ZFC^{-f}$. Though true, it seems to me a bit of 'false advertising', since the '$WF$' for $GBC^{-f}$ and $ZFC^{-f}$ are
Jun 30, 2016 at 5:07 comment added Noah Schweber @ThomasBenjamin Yes, but I still don't see the connection - how does the fact that "$\bigcup V_\alpha=V$ is equivalent to foundation over ZF" have anything to do with extending the result mentioned to ZF?
Jun 30, 2016 at 1:07 comment added Thomas Benjamin Regarding the second point in your answer--this is because $WF^{V}$ (since $WF^{V}$ is a model of $ZFC^{-f}$) is a class of well-ordered sets (since Choice still holds for $WF^{V}$)?
