|- (/) e. { x e. { (/) , { (/) } } | ( x = (/) \/ ph ) }
Theorem	onsucelsucexmidlem 4565*	Lemma for onsucelsucexmid 4566. The set { x e. { (/) , { (/) } } | ( x = (/) \/ ph ) } appears as A in the proof of Theorem 1.3 in [Bauer] p. 483 (see acexmidlema 5913), and similar sets also appear in other proofs that various propositions imply excluded middle, for example in ordtriexmidlem 4555.

Theorem	onsucelsucexmid 4566*	The converse of onsucelsucr 4544 implies excluded middle.

Theorem	regexmid 4571*	The axiom of foundation implies excluded middle. By foundation (or regularity), we mean the principle that every inhabited set has an element which is minimal (when arranged by e.). The statement of foundation here is taken from Metamath Proof Explorer's ax-reg, and is identical (modulo one unnecessary quantifier) to the statement of foundation in Theorem "Foundation implies instances of EM" of [Crosilla], p. "Set-theoretic principles incompatible with intuitionistic logic". For this reason, IZF does not adopt foundation as an axiom and instead replaces it with ax-setind 4573. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 3-Sep-2019.)

2.5.2  Introduce the Axiom of Set Induction
Axiom	ax-setind 4573*	Axiom of e.-Induction (also known as set induction). An axiom of Intuitionistic Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Axiom 9 of [Crosilla] p. "Axioms of CZF and IZF". This replaces the Axiom of Foundation (also called Regularity) from Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. For more on axioms which might be adopted which are incompatible with this axiom (that is, Non-wellfounded Set Theory but in the absence of excluded middle), see Chapter 20 of [AczelRathjen], p. 183.

|- ( A. x ( x C_ A -> x e. A ) -> A = _V )
Theorem	setind2 4576	Set (epsilon) induction, stated compactly. Given as a homework problem in 1992 by George Boolos (1940-1996). (Contributed by NM, 17-Sep-2003.)
|- ( ~P A C_ A -> A = _V )
Theorem	elirr 4577	No class is a member of itself. Exercise 6 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 22. The reason that this theorem is marked as discouraged is a bit subtle. If we wanted to reduce usage of ax-setind 4573, we could redefine Ord A (df-iord 4401) to also require _E Fr A (df-frind 4367) and in that case any theorem related to irreflexivity of ordinals could use ordirr 4578 (which under that definition would presumably not need ax-setind 4573 to prove it). But since ordinals have not yet been defined that way, we cannot rely on the "don't add additional axiom use" feature of the minimizer to get theorems to use ordirr 4578. To encourage ordirr 4578 when possible, we mark this theorem as discouraged. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Proof rewritten by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 26-Nov-2018.) (New usage is discouraged.)
|- -. A e. A
Theorem	ordirr 4578	Epsilon irreflexivity of ordinals: no ordinal class is a member of itself. Theorem 2.2(i) of [BellMachover] p. 469, generalized to classes. The present proof requires ax-setind 4573. If in the definition of ordinals df-iord 4401, we also required that membership be well-founded on any ordinal (see df-frind 4367), then we could prove ordirr 4578 without ax-setind 4573.

Theorem	onprc 4588	No set contains all ordinal numbers. Proposition 7.13 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 38. This is also known as the Burali-Forti paradox (remark in [Enderton] p. 194). In 1897, Cesare Burali-Forti noticed that since the "set" of all ordinal numbers is an ordinal class (ordon 4522), it must be both an element of the set of all ordinal numbers yet greater than every such element. ZF set theory resolves this paradox by not allowing the class of all ordinal numbers to be a set (so instead it is a proper class). Here we prove the denial of its existence.

Theorem	dtruex 4595*	At least two sets exist (or in terms of first-order logic, the universe of discourse has two or more objects). Although dtruarb 4224 can also be summarized as "at least two sets exist", the difference is that dtruarb 4224 shows the existence of two sets which are not equal to each other, but this theorem says that given a specific y, we can construct a set x which does not equal it.

Theorem	dtru 4596*	At least two sets exist (or in terms of first-order logic, the universe of discourse has two or more objects). If we assumed the law of the excluded middle this would be equivalent to dtruex 4595. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Dec-2018.)
