The critical sequence of j starts with its critical point κ and iterates κn+1​=j(κn​). Its supremum κ=supn<ω​jn(κ) is the least fixed point of j above κ whenever the relevant iterates lie in the domain.

Kunen critical sequence
For an elementary embedding with critical-sequence supremum κ, the set
j‘‘κ={j(ξ):ξ<κ}
(1)
does not belong to the transitive target model. The proof uses an omega-Jonsson function on κ.
