I've read a paper wherein there is a definition and formula amounting to "there exist some y an element of the Empty Set". This is nonsensical because Empty Set = {x: x not= x}. there is no "y not= y".

What paper? Link to it, or quote a larger section, so that people can read the context of the statement.

Did it come on a roll?

Ha, ha.

I can't quote it because it is in non ASCII letters. Paper: "The Foundations of Mathematics.pdf" at www.academia.edu.

I was mistaken, it does not say that.
