Mar 30 at 17:03 comment added Ynir Paz I should have been clearer, what I didn't understand was why the union of these sets must be Dedekind finite. But I took a look at the paper now and I see that there is a Dedekind finite class that surjects into $V$, and that's enough to construct these sets.
Mar 30 at 15:36 comment added Asaf Karagila @YnirPaz: The point is that $\alpha\mapsto A_\alpha$ is an amenable class function, and we can add a predicate for $\{A_\alpha\mid\alpha\in\rm Ord\}$. And moreover, the union of these sets is itself Dedekind-finite.
Mar 30 at 14:14 comment added Ynir Paz I don't understand the $\sf Ord$ chain construction. Assuming $F(\alpha)$ maps onto $\alpha$ for all $\alpha$, then what exactly is the sequence?
