    $\begingroup$ Just a note: of the three relations you define, one is not like the others. Your “>” and “=” are ordinary statements of set theory, while your “~” is a meta-statement about provability (in ZFC, I assume). The cognoscenti are used to this, but it’s helpful to be explicit about it: conversations can get very muddled when some participants miss this sort of issue. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 24, 2015 at 7:54

  • $\begingroup$ I said that this question is a duplicate of the question mentioned by @TimothyChow but now I see that the latter question is specifically whether the size hierarchy is the same as the consistency strength hierarchy. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 2, 2022 at 10:21
