Solovay defines a singleton set as $\{x:x=a\}$ and uses Bourbaki's definition of $1$. The $5.7\times 10^{60}$ figure comes from defining a singleton set as $\{x:x=a\vee x=a\}$ and using an allegedly fixed definition of $1$. I don't understand the assumptions behind the $1.6\times 10^{55}$ figure. | |
