Definition df-struct 12517

Description: Define a structure with components in 𝑀...𝑁. This is not a requirement for groups, posets, etc., but it is a useful assumption for component extraction theorems.

As mentioned in the section header, an "extensible structure should be implemented as a function (a set of ordered pairs)". The current definition, however, is less restrictive: it allows for classes which contain the empty set ∅ to be extensible structures. Because of 0nelfun 5253, such classes cannot be functions. Without the empty set, however, a structure must be a function, see structn0fun 12528: 𝐹 Struct 𝑋 → Fun (𝐹 ∖ {∅}).

Allowing an extensible structure to contain the empty set ensures that expressions like {⟨𝐴, 𝐵⟩, ⟨𝐶, 𝐷⟩} are structures without asserting or implying that 𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶 and 𝐷 are sets (if 𝐴 or 𝐵 is a proper class, then ⟨𝐴, 𝐵⟩ = ∅, see opprc 3814). (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 29-Aug-2015.)
