  Axiom schema of specification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In axiomatic set theory and the branches of logic, mathematics, and computer science that use it, the axiom schema of specification, or axiom schema of separation, or axiom schema of restricted comprehension, is a schema of axioms in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory.
The axiom schema of specification is generally considered uncontroversial as far as it goes, and it or an equivalent appears in just about any alternative axiomatisation of set theory.
Most of the other Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms (but not the axiom of extensionality or the axiom of regularity) then became necessary to serve as an additional replacement for the axiom schema of comprehension; each of these axioms states that a certain set exists, and defines that set by giving a predicate for its members to satisfy.

 Axiom schema of replacement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Then given a subset A of S, applying the axiom schema of replacement to F constructs the image f(A) of the subset A under the function f; it is just F(A).
The axiom was independently discovered by Thoralf Skolem later in the same year, and it is in fact Skolem's final version of the axiom list that we use today -- but he usually gets no credit since each individual axiom was developed earlier by either Zermelo or Fraenkel.
But in this case, the set B required for the axiom of specification is the empty set, so the axiom schema follows in general using also the axiom of empty set.

In axiomatic_set_theory and the branches of logic, mathematics, and computer_science that use it, the axiom schema of specification, or axiom schema of separation, or axiom schema of restricted comprehension, is a schema of axioms in Zermelo-Fraenkel_set_theory.
This axiom schema was tacitly used in the early days of naive_set_theory, before a strict axiomatisation was adopted.

 Axiom of replacement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The axiom schema of replacement wasn't part of Ernst Zermelo 's 1908 axiomatisation of set theory (Z); its introduction by Adolf Fraenkel in 1922 is what makesmodern set theory Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory (ZF).
The axiom was independently discovered by Thoralf Skolem later in the same year, and it is in fact Skolem's final versionof the axiom list that we use today -- but he usually gets no credit since each individual axiom was developed earlier by eitherZermelo or Fraenkel.

 SetTheory - PineWiki
In reading the statement of the axiom, you should think of x as the set we are taking a union over, y as the union ∪x, z as some element that might or might not be in y, and q as an element of x that contains z and thus puts z in the union.
This is an "axiom schema" instead of an axiom, because it defines an infinite family of axioms, one for each choice of P. Naive set theory adopts the simpler approach of getting rid of the parent set x, and allowing you to define a set { x
Finally, we have one final axiom, which is generally accepted by mathematicians because it's convenient but is in a very real sense optional, in that the rest of the axioms are consistent with either it or its negation.

Thus what the axiom schema is saying is that given a set A and a predicate P we can find a subset B of A whose members are precisely the members A that satisfy P.
The axiom schema of specification is generally uncontroversial as far as it goes and or an equivalent appears in just about alternative axiomatization of set theory.
In second-order logic we can quantify over predicates and axiom schema of specification becomes a simple This is much the same trick as used in the NBG axioms of the section where the predicate was replaced by class that was then quantified over.

The word axiom comes from the Greek word αξιωμα (axioma), which means that which is deemed worthy or fit or that which is considered self-evident.
This might challenge the classical notion of axiom and is at least one of the reasons why axioms are not regarded as obviously true or self-evident statements.
Thus, this notion of axiom is perhaps the closest to the intended meaning of the word: that axioms are true, no matter what.

This seems paradoxical, and is closely related to Cesare Burali-Forti's "paradox" that there can be no greatest ordinal number.
There is a quick fix in Zermelo's system by his Axiom of Separation, which stipulates that sets cannot be independently defined by any arbitrary logically definable notion, but must be separated as subsets of sets already "given".
This, he says, eliminates contradictory ideas like "the set of all sets" or "the set of all ordinal numbers".

Axiomatic set theory is a rigorous axiomatic theory developed in response to the discovery of serious flaws (such as Russell's paradox) in naive set theory.
It treats sets as "whatever satisfies the axioms", and the notion of collections of things serves only as motivation for the axioms.
Internal set theory is an axiomatic extension of set theory that supports a logically consistent identification of illimited (enormously large) and infinitesimal elements within the real numbers.
