[FOM] A new definition of Cardinality.

[Zuhair Abdul Ghafoor Al-Johar]

Just few points I wanted to write.

(1) Potter did not introduce "Scott-Potter" cardinals.

    This comment was made by Prof. Dana S. Scott

(2) Regarding the rule of Regularity with these cardinals.
    The assumption that for every set x there is a set y such
    that Cardinality(x)=y , requires regularity, since without 
    Regularity for some set x, Cardinality(x) might indeed be 
    a proper class, this observation is due to
    Prof.Dana S. Scott , here is his comments:
    
    -----
    Without regularity (= Axiom of Foundation), 
    one can construct in ZF (or ZFC) a model 
    of ZF (resp. ZFC) where there is a PROPER CLASS of
    sets x = {x}.  Call such crazy sets "nodes" for short.

   Consider {x, y}, where both elements are nodes and different. 
   Then, by your definition, (x, y} would be a member of the 
   cardinality of 2.But there is a proper class of such pairs.
   So your cardinal would not be a set.

(3) It is not clear weather ZF (without choice) can prove the existence 
     the cardinals I defined.

(4) ZFC indeed proves the theorem that
    for every set x there exist a set y 
    such that y=Cardinality(x).
