- Point 1: In the kernel namespace at level n, the collection setn is specified to be a subset of both the level n+1 collection of sets setn ⊆ setn+1 and the Ur level collection of sets setn ⊆ set∞. The first constraint is required, since it is a basic constraint for the metastack. However, the second constraint is more problematic – its purpose is part of the specification that the Ur level is the cumulative generic level for the natural part.
- Point 2: Similarly, in the kernel namespace at level n, the two metastack constraints setn ⊆ set∞ and set∞ ⊆ setmeta are equivalent to the metastack constraint setn ⊆ setmeta.
- Point 3: In one sense, the Ur level axiomatization is somewhat redundant, since it is just the specialization of the meta level axiomatization, using the metastack constraints of subset, predicate delimitation, function (optimal-)restriction and relation abridgment.
Eliminating the Ur level axiomatization would clearly make the axiomatization much simpler. But, elimination of the Ur level axiomatization requires that we also eliminate the metastack constraints such as setn ⊆ set∞. Following this, there is one further design decision. Should we add the metastack constraints of the form setn ⊆ setmeta or not? If metastack constraints of the form setn ⊆ set∞ (and similar constraints for predicates, functions and relations) are elminated without adding metastack constraints of the form setn ⊆ setmeta, the natural part of the IFF would become disconnected from the metashell. In this case, following the principle of conceptual warrant, the metashell would lose its raison d'être. This would argue for elimination of the entire metashell. By eliminating the metashell, the natural part would become the full IFF axiomatization. But note that the pointwise set-theoretical foundation of the IFF exists only in the metashell. Hence, assuming complete compliance of the natural part with the principle of categorical design, the natural part, and hence the full IFF axiomatization, would have only a pointless set-theoretic axiomatization (in the generic core) and a category-theoretic foundation (in the generic structure), and these would be expressed atomically by means of some declarations, some relational expressions, but mainly commutative diagrams.
