Definition df-ndx 12397

Description: Define the structure component index extractor. See Theorem ndxarg 12417 to understand its purpose. The restriction to NN ensures that ndx is a set. The restriction to some set is necessary since _I is a proper class. In principle, we could have chosen CC or (if we revise all structure component definitions such as df-base 12400) another set such as the set of finite ordinals om (df-iom 4568).
