Consistency of definability beyond P(Ord) in ZF
Is it consistent with ZF that the satisfaction relation of $L(P(Ord))$ is $Δ^V_2$ definable? More generally, is it consistent with ZF that there is a $Δ^V_2$ formula (taking $α$ as a parameter) that ...

Consistency of a strange (choice-wise) set of reals, pt. 2
This is a follow-up on this question. Consider a set $X\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ such that
$X$ is not separable wrt its subspace topology
Every countable family of non-empty pairwise disjoint subsets of $...
