So, an ordinal is hereditarily finite if and only if it is finite. Any hereditarily finite set is finite, but not every finite set is hereditarily finite, e.g. \(\{\omega\}\). One advantage of using hereditarily finite rather than finite sets is that they form a set, rather than a proper class. The set in question is \(V_\omega = L_\omega\) in the cumulative/Constructible hierarchy..." Tag: Visual edit
