## Ordinal Definable Set

It is a predicate has an Ordinal argument.

In Agda, OD is defined as follows.

```
    record OD : Set (suc n ) where
      field
        def : (x : Ordinal  ) → Set n
```

This is not a ZF Set, because it can contain entire Ordinals.

## HOD : Hereditarily Ordinal Definable

What we need is a bounded OD, the containment is limited by an ordinal.

```
    record HOD : Set (suc n) where
      field
        od : OD
        odmax : Ordinal
        <odmax : {y : Ordinal} → def od y → y o< odmax
```

In classical Set Theory, HOD stands for Hereditarily Ordinal Definable, which means

```
     HOD = { x | TC x ⊆ OD }
```

TC x is all transitive closure of x, that is elements of x and following all elements of them are all OD. But 
what is x? In this case, x is an Set which we don't have yet. In our case, HOD is a bounded OD. 

## 1 to 1 mapping between an HOD and an Ordinal

HOD is a predicate on Ordinals and the solution is bounded by some ordinal. If we have a mapping

```
  od→ord : HOD  → Ordinal 
  ord→od : Ordinal  → HOD  
  oiso   :  {x : HOD }      → ord→od ( od→ord x ) ≡ x
  diso   :  {x : Ordinal } → od→ord ( ord→od x ) ≡ x
```

we can check an HOD is an element of the OD using def.

A ∋ x can be define as follows.

```
    _∋_ : ( A x : HOD  ) → Set n
    _∋_  A x  = def (od A) ( od→ord x )

```
In ψ : Ordinal → Set,  if A is a  record { def = λ x → ψ x } , then

    A x = def A ( od→ord x ) = ψ (od→ord x)

They say the existing of the mappings can be proved in Classical Set Theory, but we
simply assumes these non constructively.
