The Von Neumann universe, denoted as \\( V \\), is a construction in set theory that provides a cumulative hierarchy of sets. It is named after the mathematician John von Neumann, who contributed to the foundations of set theory. The Von Neumann universe is particularly important in the context of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (ZF) and in discussions of the axioms of set theory.
