It's the smallest infinite [[Grothendieck universe]], as well as a model of ZFC. === Reference === Wikipedia: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hereditarily_finite_set|Hereditarily finite set]] ----- === Requirements === [[Power set]], [[Empty set]] === Element of === [[Grothendieck universe]] === Related === [[Set universe]]
