..but you can't use SETS of arithmetical objects, or anything large at all.
The purpose of SET THEORY should be to use sets, not fall back to solid ground Predicate Calculus every time you're asked to do anything mathematical.
All the A X I O M S O F Z F C are ad hoc tacked on to justify
XeY -> P(X,Y)
since
XeY <-> P(X,Y) results in XeRS <-> X~eX
Can you define X and Y where
X e Y and Y e X
in ZFC?
It's another example of useless tacked on AXIOMS
