Theorem	abeq2 2341*	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 2351 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.)

⊢ (𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ 𝜑)    ⇒   ⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑}
Theorem	abid1 2366*	Every class is equal to a class abstraction (the class of sets belonging to it). Theorem 5.2 of [Quine] p. 35. This is a generalization to classes of cvjust 2227. The proof does not rely on cvjust 2227, so cvjust 2227 could be proved as a special instance of it. Note however that abid1 2366 necessarily relies on df-clel 2228, whereas cvjust 2227 does not. This theorem requires ax-ext 2214, df-clab 2219, df-cleq 2225, df-clel 2228, but to prove that any specific class term not containing class variables is a setvar or is equal to a class abstraction does not require these $a-statements. This last fact is a metatheorem, consequence of the fact that the only $a-statements with typecode class are cv 1397, cab 2218, and statements corresponding to defined class constructors. Note on the simultaneous presence in set.mm of this abid1 2366 and its commuted form abid2 2355: It is rare that two forms so closely related both appear in set.mm. Indeed, such equalities are generally used in later proofs as parts of transitive inferences, and with the many variants of eqtri 2253 (search for *eqtr*), it would be rare that either one would shorten a proof compared to the other. There is typically a choice between what we call a "definitional form", where the shorter expression is on the LHS (left-hand side), and a "computational form", where the shorter expression is on the RHS (right-hand side). An example is df-2 9292 versus 1p1e2 9350. We do not need 1p1e2 9350, but because it occurs "naturally" in computations, it can be useful to have it directly, together with a uniform set of 1-digit operations like 1p2e3 9368, etc. In most cases, we do not need both a definitional and a computational forms. A definitional form would favor consistency with genuine definitions, while a computational form is often more natural. The situation is similar with biconditionals in propositional calculus: see for instance pm4.24 395 and anidm 396, while other biconditionals generally appear in a single form (either definitional, but more often computational). In the present case, the equality is important enough that both abid1 2366 and abid2 2355 are in set.mm. (Contributed by NM, 26-Dec-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 10-Nov-2020.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴}
Theorem	eqab 2367*	One direction of eqabb 2368. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 13-Feb-2025.)
⊢ (∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ 𝜑) → 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑})
Theorem	eqabb 2368*	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 abbib 2350 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. An example is the conversion of zfauscl 4229 to inex1 4243 (look at the instance of zfauscl 4229 that occurs in the proof of inex1 4243). 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 setvar 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, 26-May-1993.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 12-Feb-2025.)

⊢ (∀𝑦Ⅎ𝑥 𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ ∀𝑧Ⅎ𝑥 𝑧 ∈ 𝐴)
Definition	df-nfc 2373*	Define the not-free predicate for classes. This is read "𝑥 is not free in 𝐴". Not-free means that the value of 𝑥 cannot affect the value of 𝐴, e.g., any occurrence of 𝑥 in 𝐴 is effectively bound by a quantifier or something that expands to one (such as "there exists at most one"). It is defined in terms of the not-free predicate df-nf 1510 for wffs; see that definition for more information. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 11-Aug-2016.)
