Dear FOMers,
Another shorter axiomatization of the theory quoted below is the present one. This Theory depends on two themes that of Construction
and Size. It interprets MK over the realm of well founded sets of it.

Def.) elm(x):= [y](x e y) 

I. Construction: if phi is a formula in which x is not free, then
([!x](y)(y e x <-> elm(y) & phi)) is an axiom. 

Def.) x < y:= [f](f:x-->y & f is an injection) 

Def.) x <" y:= x < y & (z)(z e TC(x) -> z < y) 

Def.) y << x:= [f](f:x-->y & (z)(z e y\rng(f) -> z <" U(x))) 

Def.) accessible(x):= [=<2y](y e x) ? [y](elm(y) & x << y) 

II. Size: (x)(accessible(x) -> elm(x)) 

/ 

Where [=<2y] stands for there exist at most two sets y; TC,\,rng and U
stand for Transitive Closure, exception, range and Union respectively
defined in the standard manner.
