Jun 3 at 6:19 comment added Elliot Glazer $\mathcal{P}(X) \cong \mathcal{P}(X^2) \supseteq \{\text{wellorderings of } X \}\ge^* \kappa \Rightarrow \mathcal{P}^2(X) \ge^* \mathcal{P}(\kappa) \ge^* \kappa^+ \Rightarrow \kappa^+ \le \mathcal{P}^3(X).$
Jun 2 at 22:56 comment added Zuhair Al-Johar @ElliotGlazer How did you construct the successor cardinal I believe you mean $\kappa^+$, won't we need the fourth power for that, I mean $\aleph(X) \leq \mathcal P^2(X)$ but $(\aleph(X))^+ \leq \mathcal P^4(X)$. What are the details of your construction that enabled doing matters in $\mathcal P^3(X)$?
Jun 1 at 18:03 comment added Elliot Glazer @AsafKaragila The condition $X=X^2$ is enough to get $\aleph(X) \le \mathcal{P}^2(X),$ though I did need the third power set for the successor cardinal. I still suspect the claim holds for just a single power set, perhaps by listing out as many comparisons as possible among the cardinalities between $\mathcal{P}^k(X)$ and $\mathcal{P}^{k+1}(X)$ for $k$ up to say 10, and eventually finding a contradiction. I don’t think it would be a particularly enlightening endeavor though.
Jun 1 at 14:56 comment added Asaf Karagila I'm not sure that 3 power sets is really unnecessary. mathoverflow.net/questions/98365/…
Jun 1 at 14:55 comment added Asaf Karagila Another way of assuming $X^2=X$ is by simply replacing $X$ with $X^{<\omega}$ or $X^\omega$. Well-ordering a larger set is "more difficult" anyway.

Jun 1 at 7:18 comment added Zuhair Al-Johar Why $|X|=|X|^2$?
