Then my formulation must not be equivalent with yours.

So you're not claiming that your unique comprehension entails your
unique separation (ordinary separtion but with uniqueness quantifier)?
If you're not claiming that, then that would make better sense to me
from what I though you had previously claimed.

Moe I think you are confused.

Let me clarify matters.

Of course I am claiming that unique separation is entailed by
my comprehension schema and union, and I wrote a proof of that.

so I am still claiming that Z-Reg. is entailed by theory A (i.e
Z-Reg. is a sub-theory of A), as I exactly wrote in this post.

However what I am NOT claiming is that my comprehension schema
follows from unique separation alone without pairing , union and
power.

My comprehension schema is NOT a subtheory of (Extensionality +
Separation)
, But it is a subtheory of Z-Regularity-Infinity.

So I am still claiming that theory A=Z-Reg.

The second issue, I never claimed that my comprehensions schema is
entailed by unique separation alone, I never made this claim, it is
you who made such a claim not me. I said that my comprehension schema
is provable in Z-Reg.-Infinity, I never said it is provable from
unique separation alone, never.

The problem here Moe, is that you are going around matters, you are
making some assumptions that I never said, and then you attach them to
me as if I said them.

I think the simplest way to understand what I wrote is to read what I
wrote carefully and respond to the arguments one by one.

So your argument of dependence of these axioms is simply WRONG.

The formulation is their, I believe it is very clear,
straightforwards, and the proof
is also clear.

(1) Ah, I missed your word 'only' in "your proof that unique
separation with union only can prove my comprehension schema"

I did not say ONLY.

What I said is that unique separation (that is exactly: separation
schema except uniqueness quantifier) proves MY reversion (which I
haven't posted) of your unique comprehension. And it's trivial, since
MY re-version is just an instance of unique separation.

(2) Sorry, I meant the other direction: Do you claim unique separation
(exactly: separation schema except uniqueness quantifier) with union
entails unique comprehension?

But you answered that below, and it's fine, since your answer is 'no'.

Ah, okay.

(If I recall, you were saying something to the effect in a previous(?)
thread that the two axiomatizations were equivalent? But you're not
saying that now, okay.)

Anyway, I've not looked at your new formulations or posted my
suggested simplification of your earlier version , so I can't judge at
this time whether your proof of unique separation from unique
comprehension and union is okay or not. I only know that I was able to
make it work by revising one or your earlier versions of unique
comprehension. I'll try to check your latest version this week or next
week.

ah I see. we'll that's a different subject.

Yes, my answer is definitely no.

No, the equivalent axiomatizations that I was talking about were about
two versions of unique separation itself. So it is totally a different
subject. However if you see the third of my posts to this subject
here, you'll see what I mean.

I just wanted to clarify this direction: so I shall quote from my
first post:

Quote:

On the other hand it is clear that the comprehension scheme
of this theory is a sub-theory of Z, since

(y c r \/ y c s) <-> y e P(r) U P(s), were P stands for 'power-set'

Now P(r) U P(s) is a set , thus the formula in Comprehension schema
would mount to:

Ar As E!x Ay (y e x <-> (y e P(r) U P(s) /\ phi))

which is a sub-theory of Z-Reg.

/

As one can see we need Power,Boolean union,Separation and
Extensionality
Now Boolean union needs both Pairing and Union axioms, so we need
Z-Reg.-Infinity in order to prove the comprehension schema in theory
A.

So the comprehensions schema is not provable from unique separation
and union and infinity alone, it does require Pairing,Power and Union
as well.
