Nov 8 at 7:02 comment added Zuhair Al-Johar @JoelDavidHamkins, So, your argument does depend on well-orderability of $\omega_1$, this opens the window wide for those singularities to hold over all non-well orderable sets in some model of ZF in which the reals are non-well orderable. Also Calliope Ryan-Smith also use limits so it pertains to well-orderability.
Nov 8 at 6:54 comment added Zuhair Al-Johar @CalliopeRyan-Smith, can you show that argument. On the face of it, your answer, is not about super-singularity, since it is enough to have $\omega_2$ be equinumerous to an $\omega_1$ sized set of $\omega_1$ or less sized sets. Anyhow $\omega_2$ is not a limit cardinal, so obviously you are saying "like" argument, so can you post a reference to it.
Nov 8 at 0:37 comment added Joel David Hamkins I just meant that if $|A|=|\cup x|$, meaning they are equinumerous, then $A$ is equinumerous with $\cup x$, and so we can replace $x$ with $x'$ where $A=\cup x'$. So that part of your change didn't actually change anything. Meanwhile, the rest of my answer here does use that $\omega_1$ is well-orderable, so that all the cardinals below it are also well-orderable, and this is how I concluded that $x$ must be countable and that the elements of $x$ must be countable as well, and indeed finite for the hypersingular case.

Nov 7 at 20:21 comment added Zuhair Al-Johar @JoelDavidHamkins, was that because $\omega_1$ is well-orderable? So, the result must be restricted to non-well orderable sets?
Nov 7 at 19:13 comment added Calliope Ryan-Smith Also limit cardinals are never super-singular by a Specker-type '$\omega_2$ is not a countable union of countable sets' argument.
Nov 7 at 19:03 comment added Joel David Hamkins I take same-cardinality to mean equinumerous, so we can assume $\omega_1=\cup x$ without loss.
Nov 7 at 17:56 comment added Zuhair Al-Johar why $\omega_1=\bigcup x$?
