Theorem of slide 11: if κ is a super Reinhardt cardinal in a universe satisfying ZF, then some ordinal γ below κ carries a rank segment that itself satisfies ZF and contains a Reinhardt cardinal. The consistency strength chain CON(totally Reinhardt) implies CON(super Reinhardt) implies CON(Reinhardt) is read off from such reflection statements.

What the Lean code literally says, in plain math · glm-5-latest-short

The statement says: given a universe U satisfying ZF and an ordinal κ that is super Reinhardt — for every ordinal λ there is a non-identity elementary self-map of U whose least moved ordinal code is κ and which sends the code of κ to the code of some ordinal above λ — there is an ordinal γ below κ such that the rank segment below γ satisfies ZF and contains a Reinhardt cardinal: some non-identity elementary self-embedding of that segment moves the code of some κ' below γ while fixing the codes of all smaller ordinals in the segment.
