Feb 18, 2018 at 12:03 comment added Alec Rhea @bof That would generally be a contextual statement used to save time when the meaning is hopefully clear from context; in this case, it seems to mean initial ordinals of 'most' first order definable large cardinal axioms.
Feb 18, 2018 at 10:23 comment added bof What does it mean to say that something holds "for every sufficiently small [ordinal] $\alpha$"? Does $\alpha=0$ hold for every sufficiently small ordinal $\alpha$?

Sep 18, 2017 at 22:56 comment added LSpice Although it's not an issue now, since a moderator has deleted the MSE question, for future reference: on the question page for any question that you have asked, below the list of tags, where you would see just "share cite edit flag" for someone else's question, you will see "share cite edit close delete flag" for your own question. Possibly you'll see some different set of options, but 'delete' will definitely be one of them. Clicking that prompts to delete the question.

Corrected math
Sep 18, 2017 at 22:00 comment added Zetapology You're right, it does not imply the existance of $F_\omega(\alpha).$

Sep 18, 2017 at 13:09 comment added Not Mike Aren't these just the indiscernibles for a model containing $\alpha$?
Sep 18, 2017 at 9:57 comment added Yair Hayut I guess that is we assume that $V_\beta \prec V$, then $F_n(\alpha)$ exists for every $n$ and every $\alpha < \beta$ (the function $F_n$ is even definable from $\beta$ in this case). If we assume further that there is a class of cardinals $\beta$ such that $V_{\beta} \prec V$ (which is equiconsistent with ZFC), we should get that $F_n(\alpha)$ exists for all $\alpha$ and $n$. Also, it is not clear to me why the existence of $F_n(\alpha)$ for all $n$ imply the existence of $F_{\omega}(\alpha)$, even if we assume that $V$ is well founded.
