mathematics A set theory with the axioms of Zermelo settheory (Extensionality, Union, Pair-set, Foundation,
Restriction, Infinity, Power-set) plus the Replacement axiomschema:
If F(x,y) is a formula such that for any x, there is a
unique y making F true, and X is a set, then
is a set. In other words, if you do something to each element
of a set, the result is a set.
An important but controversial axiom which is NOT part of ZF
theory is the Axiom of Choice.
