The goal is to construct systems where every \"Not-Properclass\" is a set! With help of Non-Monotonic Logic, the consistent systems NACT-MoonW, NACT*W, and NACT-SunW are producing \"largest possible universes\" of sets. Using self-evident philosophical principles, three approximations are suggested: NACT+NFUM-closed (to NACT*), NACT&ZFC4+(GCH) (also to NACT*) and NACT-NFUM (to NACT-Sun). Also the system NACT[&ZFC4-closed]+(FCA) is considered. NFUM = NFU with (AC) and measurable properclass Ord. NFUM-closed is NFUM where the set-constituting formulas Ai in the set operator need not only to be stratified but also to be made parameter-free (i.e., have only x as free variable over which the set is comprehended). In other formulas, free variables are allowed.
