Elementary point about measurable cards

Just refreshing my understanding of measurable cardinals, the first step (more questions may follow, but one step at a time) is to make sure I understand the conditions: one of them is

For a (an uncountable) measurable cardinal κ, there exists a non-trivial, 0-1-valued measure μ on P(κ) such that there exists an λ<κ such that for any sequence [Aα: α<λ ] of disjoint sets Aα whose elements are smaller-than-κ ordinals, μ(\cup{ Aα }) = ∑μ(Aα)

Would not this mean that there would be a β<λ such that μ(Aβ) = 1 and \forallγ<λ, (γ≠ β \Rightarrow μ(Aβ) = 0)?

If not, why not?

P.S. except of course for those sequences for which for all α in the set of indices of the sequence, μ(Aα)=0

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
"measurable cardinal" is an extremely specialized concept. I am not surprised as the lack of response. I had to look it up on Wikipedia to get an inkling of what means.
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
