14.3.11.2  Full induction In this section, using the axiom of set induction, we prove full induction on the set of natural numbers.
Theorem	bj-findis 17210*	Principle of induction, using implicit substitutions (the biconditional versions of the hypotheses are implicit substitutions, and we have weakened them to implications). Constructive proof (from CZF). See bj-bdfindis 17178 for a bounded version not requiring ax-setind 4686. See finds 4749 for a proof in IZF. From this version, it is easy to prove of finds 4749, finds2 4750, finds1 4751. (Contributed by BJ, 22-Dec-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

14.3.12  CZF: Strong collection In this section, we state the axiom scheme of strong collection, which is part of CZF set theory.
Axiom	ax-strcoll 17213*	Axiom scheme of strong collection. It is stated with all possible disjoint variable conditions, to show that this weak form is sufficient. The antecedent means that ph represents a multivalued function on a, or equivalently a collection of nonempty classes indexed by a, and the axiom asserts the existence of a set b which "collects" at least one element in the image of each x e. a and which is made only of such elements. That second conjunct is what makes it "strong", compared to the axiom scheme of collection ax-coll 4248. (Contributed by BJ, 5-Oct-2019.)
|- A. a ( A. x e. a E. y ph -> E. b ( A. x e. a E. y e. b ph /\ A. y e. b E. x e. a ph ) )

|- ( A. x e. a E. y ph -> E. b ( A. x e. a E. y e. b ph /\ A. y e. b E. x e. a ph ) )
Theorem	strcollnft 17215*	Closed form of strcollnf 17216. (Contributed by BJ, 21-Oct-2019.)
|- ( A. x A. y F/ b ph -> ( A. x e. a E. y ph -> E. b ( A. x e. a E. y e. b ph /\ A. y e. b E. x e. a ph ) ) )
Theorem	strcollnf 17216*	Version of ax-strcoll 17213 with one disjoint variable condition removed, the other disjoint variable condition replaced with a nonfreeness hypothesis, and without initial universal quantifier. Version of strcoll2 17214 with the disjoint variable condition on b , ph replaced with a nonfreeness hypothesis. This proof aims to demonstrate a standard technique, but strcoll2 17214 will generally suffice: since the theorem asserts the existence of a set b, supposing that that setvar does not occur in the already defined ph is not a big constraint. (Contributed by BJ, 21-Oct-2019.)
|- F/ b ph   =>    |- ( A. x e. a E. y ph -> E. b ( A. x e. a E. y e. b ph /\ A. y e. b E. x e. a ph ) )

|- F/ b ph   =>    |- ( A. x e. a E. y ph -> E. b ( A. x e. a E. y e. b ph /\ A. y e. b E. x e. a ph ) )
14.3.13  CZF: Subset collection In this section, we state the axiom scheme of subset collection, which is part of CZF set theory.
Axiom	ax-sscoll 17218*	Axiom scheme of subset collection. It is stated with all possible disjoint variable conditions, to show that this weak form is sufficient. The antecedent means that ph represents a multivalued function from a to b, or equivalently a collection of nonempty subsets of b indexed by a, and the consequent asserts the existence of a subset of c which "collects" at least one element in the image of each x e. a and which is made only of such elements. The axiom asserts the existence, for any sets a , b, of a set c such that that implication holds for any value of the parameter z of ph. (Contributed by BJ, 5-Oct-2019.)
|- A. a A. b E. c A. z ( A. x e. a E. y e. b ph -> E. d e. c ( A. x e. a E. y e. d ph /\ A. y e. d E. x e. a ph ) )

14.3.14  Real numbers
Axiom	ax-ddkcomp 17220	Axiom of Dedekind completeness for Dedekind real numbers: every inhabited upper-bounded located set of reals has a real upper bound. Ideally, this axiom should be "proved" as "axddkcomp" for the real numbers constructed from IZF, and then Axiom ax-ddkcomp 17220 should be used in place of construction specific results. In particular, axcaucvg 8273 should be proved from it. (Contributed by BJ, 24-Oct-2021.)

14.4  Mathbox for Jim Kingdon
14.4.1  Propositional and predicate logic
Theorem	nnnotnotr 17221	Double negation of double negation elimination. Suggested by an online post by Martin Escardo. Although this statement resembles nnexmid 862, it can be proved with reference only to implication and negation (that is, without use of disjunction). (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 21-Oct-2024.)

14.4.2  The sizes of sets
Theorem	ss1oel2o 17222	Any subset of ordinal one being an element of ordinal two is equivalent to excluded middle. A variation of exmid01 4337 which more directly illustrates the contrast with el2oss1o 6720. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 8-Aug-2022.)

Theorem	pw1ndom3 17225	The powerset of 1o does not dominate 3o. This is another way of saying that ~P 1o does not have three elements (like pwntru 4338). (Contributed by Steven Nguyen and Jim Kingdon, 14-Feb-2026.)
|- -. 3o ~<_ ~P 1o
Theorem	pw1ninf 17226	The powerset of 1o is not infinite. Since we cannot prove it is finite (see pw1fin 7221), this provides a concrete example of a set which we cannot show to be finite or infinite, as seen another way at inffiexmid 7217. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 14-Feb-2026.)

14.4.3  The power set of a singleton
Theorem	pwtrufal 17232	A subset of the singleton { (/) } cannot be anything other than (/) or { (/) }. Removing the double negation would change the meaning, as seen at exmid01 4337. If we view a subset of a singleton as a truth value (as seen in theorems like exmidexmid 4335), then this theorem states there are no truth values other than true and false, as described in section 1.1 of [Bauer], p. 481.

Theorem	subctctexmid 17235*	If every subcountable set is countable and Markov's principle holds, excluded middle follows. Proposition 2.6 of [BauerSwan], p. 14:4. The proof is taken from that paper. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Nov-2023.)

14.4.9  Analytic omniscience principles Omniscience principles refer to several propositions, most of them weaker than full excluded middle, which do not follow from the axioms of IZF set theory. They are: (0) the Principle of Omniscience (PO), which is another name for excluded middle (see exmidomni 7488), (1) the Limited Principle of Omniscience (LPO) is om e. Omni (see df-omni 7481), (2) the Weak Limited Principle of Omniscience (WLPO) is om e. WOmni (see df-womni 7510), (3) Markov's Principle (MP) is om e. Markov (see df-markov 7498), (4) the Lesser Limited Principle of Omniscience (LLPO) is not yet defined in iset.mm. They also have analytic counterparts each of which follows from the corresponding omniscience principle: (1) Analytic LPO is real number trichotomy, A. x e. RR A. y e. RR ( x < y \/ x = y \/ y < x ) (see trilpo 17299), (2) Analytic WLPO is decidability of real number equality, A. x e. RR A. y e. RRDECID x = y (see redcwlpo 17312), (3) Analytic MP is A. x e. RR A. y e. RR ( x =/= y -> x # y ) (see neapmkv 17325), (4) Analytic LLPO is real number dichotomy, A. x e. RR A. y e. RR ( x <_ y \/ y <_ x ) (most relevant current theorem is maxclpr 12011).

Theorem	trilpo 17299*	Real number trichotomy implies the Limited Principle of Omniscience (LPO). We expect that we'd need some form of countable choice to prove the converse. Here's the outline of the proof. Given an infinite sequence F of zeroes and ones, we need to show the sequence contains a zero or it is all ones. Construct a real number A whose representation in base two consists of a zero, a decimal point, and then the numbers of the sequence. Compare it with one using trichotomy. The three cases from trichotomy are trilpolemlt1 17297 (which means the sequence contains a zero), trilpolemeq1 17296 (which means the sequence is all ones), and trilpolemgt1 17295 (which is not possible). Equivalent ways to state real number trichotomy (sometimes called "analytic LPO") include decidability of real number apartness (see triap 17284) or that the real numbers are a discrete field (see trirec0 17300). LPO is known to not be provable in IZF (and most constructive foundations), so this theorem establishes that we will be unable to prove an analogue to qtri3or 10692 for real numbers.
