In mathematics, the wholeness axiom is a strong axiom of set theory. introduced by Corazza (2000).

The wholeness axiom states roughly that there is an elementary embedding j from the universe V to itself. This has to be stated carefully to avoid Kunen's theorem stating (roughly) that no such embedding exists.
