Popis: Here it is shown that standard set theory can be interpreted in a theory about order. The ordering here is about non-extensional flat classes, i.e. classes that are not elements of classes. So, stipulating a nearly well order over all those classes coupled together with indexing that order by elements of those classes, thereby having those elements serve as ordinals; this together with infinity and a replacement like axiom would be shown to interpret ZFC. Moreover, it is shown that a suitable version of this order theory is bi-interpretable with Morse-Kelley set theory augmented with a well ordering on classes.
