The Von Neumann cardinal assignment, also known as the Von Neumann cardinal numbers, is a way of representing cardinal numbers (which measure the size of sets) using well-defined sets in the context of set theory. In this framework, each cardinal number is identified with the set of all smaller cardinals. \#\#\# Definition: - A **cardinal number** is defined using ordinals in set theory.
