S (set theory) sets" or "the class of all ordinals" include sets from all stages of the iterative hierarchy. Hence such collections cannot be formed at any given stage, and thus cannot be sets. This section follows Boolos (1998: 91). The variables "x" and "y" range over sets, while "r", "s", and "t" range over stages. There are three primitive two-place predicates: The axioms below include a defined two-place set-stage predicate, "Bxr", which abbreviates: "Bxr" is read as “set "x" is formed before stage "r".” Identity, denoted by infix ‘=’, does not play the role in S it plays in other set theories,
