the axiom of constructibility

The axiom of constructibility asserts that every set in the universe of set theory can be constructed in a precise, step-by-step process starting from basic building blocks. It introduces a class called "L" (for constructible sets), where each set is built in a well-ordered way, ensuring that all sets are accounted for and can be explicitly defined. This axiom helps resolve certain questions in set theory by restricting the universe to a minimal, well-understood collection of sets, making the mathematical universe more "manageable" and providing a strong foundation for exploring other mathematical truths.
