\( \exists x_1.\, \forall x_2.\, \exists x_3.\, \forall y.\, (y \in v \to v \neq v) \) is \( \Sigma_4 \), but is logically equivalent to the statement \( \forall y \in v.\, v \neq v \), which is \( \Sigma_0 \).
The fact that \( \Sigma_n^{\mathsf{ZF}} \) is closed under bounded quantification depends on the axiom of collection.
In particular, in Zermelo set theory, there is a \( \Sigma_1^{\mathsf{Z}} \) formula \( \varphi \) such that \( \forall x \in a.\, \varphi \) is not \( \Sigma_1^{\mathsf{Z}} \).
In intuitionistic logic, these classes are very badly behaved; for instance, we could have a \( \Sigma_1^T \) formula \( \varphi \) such that \( \neg\varphi \) is not \( \Pi_1^T \).

This is a theorem scheme; for every choice of formulas \( \bm\varphi \), it is a theorem of \( \mathsf{ZF} \) that \( \bm\varphi \) are absolute for some \( \mathrm{V}_\beta \).
We cannot prove that for every collection of formulas \( \bm\varphi \), for all ordinals \( \alpha \) there exists \( \beta > \alpha \) such that \( \bm\varphi \) is absolute for \( W_\beta, W \).

\subsection{Large cardinal properties}
Modern set theory largely concerns itself with the consequences of the incompleteness phenomenon.
Given any `reasonable' set theory \( T \), then G\"odel's first incompleteness theorem shows that there is \( \varphi \) such that \( T \nvdash \varphi \) and \( T \nvdash \neg\varphi \).
Given any `reasonable' set theory \( T \), G\"odel's first incompleteness theorem shows that there is a sentence \( \varphi \) such that \( T \nvdash \varphi \) and \( T \nvdash \neg\varphi \).
To be `reasonable', the set of axioms must be computably enumerable, among other similar restrictions.
In particular, G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem shows that \( T \nvdash \Con(T) \), where \( \Con(T) \) is the statement that \( T \) is consistent.

\item \( \kappa \) is called an \emph{\( \aleph \) fixed point} if \( \kappa = \aleph_\kappa \).
Note that, for example, \( \omega \), \( \omega_1 \), and \( \aleph_\omega \) are not \( \aleph \) fixed points.
However, we have the following result.
We say that \( F : \mathrm{Ord} \to \mathrm{Ord} \) is \emph{normal} if \( \alpha \leq \beta \) implies \( F(\alpha) \leq F(\beta) \), and if \( \lambda \) is a limit, \( F(\lambda) = \bigcup_{\alpha < \lambda} F(\alpha) \).

One can show that every normal ordinal operation has arbitrarily large fixed points, and in particular that these fixed points may be enumerated by the ordinals.
In particular, since the operation \( \alpha \mapsto \aleph_\alpha \) is normal, it admits fixed points.
\item Let \( \Phi(\kappa) \) be the property
\[ \kappa = \aleph_\kappa \wedge \Con(\mathsf{ZFC}) \]
Clearly \( \Phi \mathsf{C} \) implies \( \Con(\mathsf{ZFC}) \), so \( \mathsf{ZFC} \nvdash \Phi \mathsf{C} \).
We would like our large cardinal axioms to be unprovable by \( \mathsf{ZFC} \) because of their size, not because of any other arbitrary reasons that we may attach to these axioms.

Note that \( \aleph_1 \) is also regular, since countable unions of countable sets are countable.
This argument generalises to all succcessor cardinals, so all successor cardinals \( \aleph_{\alpha + 1} \) are regular.
The cardinal \( \aleph_\omega \) is not regular, as it is the union of \( \qty{\aleph_n \mid n \in \mathbb N} \), which is a subset of \( \aleph_\omega \) of cardinality \( \aleph_0 \), giving \( \cf(\aleph_\omega) = \aleph_0 \).

By G\"odel's second incompleteness theorem, under the assumption that \( \mathsf{ZFC} \) is consistent, we have \( \mathsf{ZFC} \nvdash \Con(\mathsf{ZFC}) \), so it suffices to show \( \mathsf{IC} \to \Con(\mathsf{ZFC}) \).
G\"odel's completeness theorem states that \( \Con(T) \) holds if and only if there exists a model \( M \) with \( M \vDash T \).
Thus, it suffices to show that under the assumption that there is an inaccessible cardinal, we can construct a model of \( \mathsf{ZFC} \).
Note that the metatheory in which the completeness is proven actually matters; both theories and models are actually sets in the outer theory.
