“…In an earlier paper [1], it was shown that Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory gets considerably simplified, if we add two axioms, Monotonicity and Fusion, to it. In the resulting intuitive set theory (IST), the continuum hypothesis is a theorem, axiom of choice is a theorem, Skolem Paradox does not crop up, non-Lebesgue measurable sets are not possible, and the unit interval splits into a set of infinitesimals with cardinality ℵ 0 [1,2]. This paper shows that IST can be used to visualize the infinite physical space around us as a set.…”

“…The primary purpose of this paper is to give a clear definition of intuitive set theory (IST), so that researchers have all the necessary background to investigate the consistency of the two axioms that define IST [1,2,4]. Gödel tells us that even though we are not in a position to prove the consistency of a significant theory, we can prove its inconsistency, if it is inconsistent.…”
