A: Should we have a tag for second-order logic?

Noah SchweberBased on the feedback of the past week, I've gone ahead and created a tag (following Monroe Eskew's suggestion of "higher-order-logics" instead of "second-order-logic"). I've kept the tag description very short, and others should feel free to improve it. I'll add this tag to relevant questions ov...

A new-tag was created. It also has a tag-excerpt (while tag-wiki is empty, at the moment).

Q: Can $Ord$ have nontrivial second-order elementary self-embeddings?

Noah SchweberI forgot to mention originally: this was motivated by this old MSE question. It's not hard to show in $\mathsf{ZFC}$ that there are nontrivial elementary embeddings from $(Ord; \in)$ to itself - or rather, it's not hard to write down specific formulas which $\mathsf{ZFC}$ proves define such maps....

I think it would be better if the description were shorter and the details were in the tag wiki. — François G. Dorais ♦ 1 hour ago
