Feb 24, 2021 at 10:55 comment added Gro-Tsen I'm afraid I easily get lost in the twisty maze of theories all alike, but the reference here is Mathias's paper “The Strength of Mac Lane Set Theory”. Let's just say I was mostly suggesting a look at the theory $\mathsf{KP}^{\mathcal{P}}$ (in the terminology of this paper), which is somewhat better behaved than $\mathsf{Z}$ and presumably admits an interesting hierarchy of “small large” cardinals (whose existence in $\mathsf{ZFC}$ would be probable).
Feb 24, 2021 at 0:27 comment added Tim Campion @Gro-Tsen Thanks, that's good to know. As is probably apparent, I don't really know enough set theory to say with confidence that ZC is the base theory I'm "really" interested in. Just to be sure I have it straight, we have that ZC interprets KP+Powerset and KP+Powerset interprets BZC=Mac Lane, but between KP and Mac Lane neither one "directly" interprets the other, right?
Feb 24, 2021 at 0:22 comment added Gro-Tsen (contd.) … So I am tempted to believe that there should be notions like “power-recursively inaccessible”, “power-recursively Mahlo”, etc., waiting to be studied. AFAICT this hasn't received any attention, but it could be an interesting hierarchy to look at.
Feb 24, 2021 at 0:19 comment added Gro-Tsen This is probably not what you had in mind, but just in case: if we weaken ZC even more and restrict Separation to Δ₀ formulae, but add Δ₀ replacement, we get Kripke-Platek (KP) + powerset. Now KP has its own hierarchy of “recursively large ordinals” (recursively inaccessible, recursively Mahlo, nonprojectible, etc.), which reflect the “small” large cardinals. The theory Power-KP obtained by adding a powerset function (rather than axiom) to KP has been studied, and seems to have much in common with KP (its transitive models are called “power-admissible” sets). … (contd.)
