The theory that I've presented can actually work without the axiom
of global choice!
this is done by replacing axiom of Universal limitation by
axiom of direct size limitation.
To re-iterate my theory. It is too simple actually.
Language: FOL(=,e)
Definition: Set(x) <-> Ey(x e y)
Axioms:
1.Extensionality: (Az. z e x <-> z e y) -> x=y
2.Class comprehension: {x| Set(x) phi} exists.
3.Pairing: (Ay. y e x -> y=a or y=b) -> Set(x)
4.Hereditary limitation: Set(x) <-> Ey. Set(y) & AzeTC(x).z=<y
5.Size limitation: Set(x) & y=<x -> Set(y)
/
where x =< y <-> Ef. f:x-->y & f is injective
and TC(x)={y|As. x subset_of s & s is transitive -> y e s}
This proves MK-choice. However it might be stronger than MK-choice?
MK+global choice proves all the above axioms.
