Theorem abeq2 2246

Description: Equality of a class variable and a class abstraction (also called a class builder). Theorem 5.1 of [Quine] p. 34. This theorem shows the relationship between expressions with class abstractions and expressions with class variables. Note that abbi 2251 and its relatives are among those useful for converting theorems with class variables to equivalent theorems with wff variables, by first substituting a class abstraction for each class variable.

Class variables can always be eliminated from a theorem to result in an equivalent theorem with wff variables, and vice-versa. The idea is roughly as follows. To convert a theorem with a wff variable 𝜑 (that has a free variable 𝑥) to a theorem with a class variable 𝐴, we substitute 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 for 𝜑 throughout and simplify, where 𝐴 is a new class variable not already in the wff. Conversely, to convert a theorem with a class variable 𝐴 to one with 𝜑, we substitute {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} for 𝐴 throughout and simplify, where 𝑥 and 𝜑 are new set and wff variables not already in the wff. For more information on class variables, see Quine pp. 15-21 and/or Takeuti and Zaring pp. 10-13. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
