How does Reinhardt's extension of the set-theoretic universe beyond $V_\Omega$ work?

218 Views Asked by At

In this answer it is stated that in William Reinhardt's paper 'Remarks on reflection principles, large cardinals, and elementary embeddings' (1974)

Reinhardt suggests extending the set-theoretic universe beyond $V_\Omega$ (where $\Omega$ denotes the class of ordinals) to some "virtual realm" of larger objects: $V_{\Omega+1}$, $V_{\Omega+\Omega}$, and so on.

I have not been able to find a free copy of the paper & was wondering if someone could elaborate on the method Reinhardt suggests.

Additionally:

  • Does this method have a name?
  • What is the upper limit of this method?

Any additional online references for further reading would also be greatly appreciated.
