I think the main problem here is that the largest "large cardinal numbers" are elements of S because S contains a sub-collection ordinally similar to the class of all ordinal numbers. The theory of S has been much developed since Conway published "On Numbers and Games". Perhaps the theory of S can be formalized in Morse-Kelley set theory but only if that set theory allows the existence of continuously ordered collections containing dense sub-collections which are proper classes. | |
