So the AXIOMS are a *CONSTRAINT* what formula are allowed.

only in FOL.
Axioms (R here) are 2OL or 3OL (Regularity)
so they range over all expressions within their own theory (including P and Q) and LIMIT the usage/range of certain symbols.
[3] >You need ZFC to tell you what sets DO exist! -- This validity ONLY >tells you that a certain kind of set canNOT exist!
ALL(set) mem e set IFF p(mem,set) AND EXIST(anotherset) mem e anotherset
This is what ZFC does, limits the relation 'e'.

What's the difference between Predicate Calculus and Naive Set Theory.
They are both ZERO-AXIOM logic systems.
If NST is inconsistent, what rules in Predicate Calculus are you using to ensure ZFC does not inherit NST inconsistency?
