Sep 6, 2017 at 19:45 comment added Zuhair Al-Johar Yes, you can define "transpassing" using the predicate approach! However, given all the axioms, it won't make any difference whether you define it using predicates or you define it using transitive closure classes since the existence of the later would be proven from Extensionality, Class comprehension, and Transitivity, and all of those are necessarily needed (together with axiom of acyclicity) for acyclic set construction scheme to kick in! That said, it appears to me that it would be nicer to define 'transpassing' in terms of transitive closure classes.
Sep 6, 2017 at 14:56 comment added Peter LeFanu Lumsdaine It’s not clear to me why a “transitive closure class” exists. Given $z$, we can certainly define a predicate whose extension is the transitive closure of $z$, defined as “every transitive class $C$ with $z \subseteq C$ contains $x$”, but proving that this predicate is represented by a class requires some comprehension axioms. (This isn’t a problem for the rest of your treatment, though — the predicate version is enough for your definition of “transpassing”.)
