Rieger-Bernays permutation model

ID: rieger-bernays-permutation-model

A definable class bijection of a model's universe changes membership as displayed. Images and inverse images of sets under remain sets by the Axiom schema of replacement. The new extension of is the old set . Thus the representative of any desired extension is . Extensionality follows from bijectivity; separation and replacement translate to old definable formulas; pairs, unions and power sets have explicit representatives. Infinity follows by iterating the new empty set and successor. Foundation need not survive: interchanging and makes the old empty set a Quine atom. A full such permutation of a model of choice still satisfies choice; failure of choice requires an additional symmetry restriction.
