Theorem dcextest 4503

Description: If it is decidable whether { x | ph } is a set, then -. ph is decidable (where x does not occur in ph). From this fact, we can deduce (outside the formal system, since we cannot quantify over classes) that if it is decidable whether any class is a set, then "weak excluded middle" (that is, any negated proposition -. ph is decidable) holds.

Hypothesis

Ref	Expression
dcextest.ex	|- DECID { x | ph } e. _V
