| 12455 | The idea of an infinite totality is an illusion [Hilbert] |
| 15897 | Zermelo realised that Choice would facilitate the sort of 'counting' Cantor needed [Zermelo, by Lavine] |

| 16065 | Constitution is identity (being in the same place), or it isn't (having different possibilities) [Wasserman] |
