Statement List for Metamath Proof Explorer - 1501-1600 - Page 16 of 123
TypeLabelDescription
Statement
 
Theoremaxext2 1501 The Axiom of Extensionality (ax-ext 1500) restated so that it postulates the existence of a set z given two arbitrary sets x and y. This way to express it follows the general idea of the other ZFC axioms, which is to postulate the existence of sets given other sets.
|- E.z((z e. x <-> z e. y) -> x = y)
 
Theoremaxext3 1502 A generalization of the Axiom of Extensionality in which x and y need not be distinct.
|- (A.z(z e. x <-> z e. y) -> x = y)
 
Theoremaxext4 1503 A bidirectional version of Extensionality. Although this theorem "looks" like it is just a definition of equality, it requires the Axiom of Extensionality for its proof under our axiomatization. See the comments for ax-ext 1500 and df-cleq 1511.
|- (x = y <-> A.z(z e. x <-> z e. y))
 
Theorembm1.1 1504 Any set defined by a property is the only set defined by that property. Theorem 1.1 of [BellMachover] p. 462.
|- (ph -> A.xph)   =>   |- (E.xA.y(y e. x <-> ph) -> E!xA.y(y e. x <-> ph))
 
Class abstractions (a.k.a. class builders)
 
Syntaxcab 1505 Introduce the class builder or class abstraction notation ("the class of sets x such that ph is true"). Our class variables A, B, etc. range over class builders (implicitly in the case of defined class terms such as df-nul 2333). Note that a set variable can be expressed as a class builder per theorem cvjust 1513, justifying the assignment of set variables to class variables via the use of cv 991.
class {x | ph}
 
Definitiondf-clab 1506 Define class abstraction notation (so-called by Quine), also called a "class builder" in the literature. x and y need not be distinct. Definition 2.1 of [Quine] p. 16. Typically, ph will have y as a free variable, and "{y | ph}" is read "the class of all sets y such that ph(y) is true." We do not define {y | ph} in isolation but only as part of an expression that extends or "overloads" the e. relationship.

This is our first use of the e. symbol to connect classes instead of sets. The syntax definition wcel 994, which extends or "overloads" the wel 995 definition connecting set variables, requires that both sides of e. be a class. In df-cleq 1511 and df-clel 1514, we introduce a new kind of variable (class variable) that can substituted with expressions such as {y | ph}. In the present definition, the x on the left-hand side is a set variable. Syntax definition cv 991 allows us to substitute a set variable x for a class variable: all sets are classes by cvjust 1513 (but not necessarily vice-versa). For a full description of how classes are introduced and how to recover the primitive language, see the discussion in Quine (and under abeq2 1611 for a quick overview).

Because class variables can be substituted with compound expressions and set variables cannot, it is often useful to convert a theorem containing a free set variable to a more general version with a class variable. This is done with theorems such as vtoclg 1893 which is used, for example, to convert elirrv 4741 to elirr 4742.

|- (ph -> A.xA.yph)   &   |- (ph -> (ps -> A.xps))   =>   |- (ph -> (z e. {y | ps} -> A.x z e. {y | ps}))
 
Definitiondf-cleq 1511 Define the equality connective between classes. Definition 2.7 of [Quine] p. 18. Also Definition 4.5 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 13; Chapter 4 provides its justification and methods for eliminating it. Note that its elimination will not necessarily result in a single wff in the original language but possibly a "scheme" of wffs.

This is an example of a somewhat "risky" definition, meaning that it has a more complex than usual soundness justification (outside of Metamath), because it "overloads" or reuses the existing equality symbol rather than introducing a new symbol. This allows us to make statements that may not hold for the original symbol. For example, it permits us to deduce y = z <-> A.x(x e. y <-> x e. z), which is not a theorem of logic but rather presupposes the Axiom of Extensionality (see theorem axext4 1503). We therefore include this axiom as a hypothesis, so that the use of Extensionality is properly indicated.

We could avoid this complication by introducing a new symbol, say =2, in place of =. This would also have the advantage of making elimination of the definition straightforward, so that we could eliminate Extensionality as a hypothesis. We would then also have the advantage of being able to identify in various proofs exactly where Extensionality truly comes into play rather than just being an artifact of a definition.. One of our theorems would then be x =2 y <-> x = y by invoking Extensionality.

However, to conform to literature usage, we retain this overloaded definition. This also makes some proofs shorter and probably easier to read, without the constant switching between two kinds of equality.

See also comments under df-clab 1506, df-clel 1514, and abeq2 1611.

|- (A.x(x e. y <-> x e. z) -> y = z)   =>   |- (A = B <-> A.x(x e. A <-> x e. B))
 
Theoremdfcleq 1512 The same as df-cleq 1511 with the hypothesis removed using the Axiom of Extensionality ax-ext 1500.
|- (A = B <-> A.x(x e. A <-> x e. B))
 
Theoremcvjust 1513 Every set is a class. Proposition 4.9 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 13. This theorem shows that a set variable can be expressed as a class abstraction. This provides a motivation for the class syntax construction cv 991, which allows us to substitute a set variable for a class variable. See also cab 1505 and df-clab 1506. Note that this is not a rigorous justification, because cv 991 is used as part of the proof of this theorem, but a careful argument can be made outside of the formalism of Metamath, for example as is done in Chapter 4 of Takeuti and Zaring. See also the discussion under the definition of class in [Jech] p. 4 showing that "Every set can be considered to be a class."
|- x = {y | y e. x}
 
Definitiondf-clel 1514 Define the membership connective between classes. Theorem 6.3 of [Quine] p. 41, or Proposition 4.6 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 13, which we adopt as a definition. See these references for its metalogical justification. Note that like df-cleq 1511 it extends or "overloads" the use of the existing membership symbol, but unlike df-cleq 1511 it does not strengthen the set of valid wffs of logic when the class variables are replaced with set variables (see cleljust 1366), so we don't include any set theory axiom as a hypothesis. See also comments about the syntax under df-clab 1506.
