2.4  IZF Set Theory - add the Axiom of Union
2.4.1  Introduce the Axiom of Union
Axiom	ax-un 4411*	Axiom of Union. An axiom of Intuitionistic Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. It states that a set 𝑦 exists that includes the union of a given set 𝑥 i.e. the collection of all members of the members of 𝑥. The variant axun2 4413 states that the union itself exists. A version with the standard abbreviation for union is uniex2 4414. A version using class notation is uniex 4415. This is Axiom 3 of [Crosilla] p. "Axioms of CZF and IZF", except (a) unnecessary quantifiers are removed, (b) Crosilla has a biconditional rather than an implication (but the two are equivalent by bm1.3ii 4103), and (c) the order of the conjuncts is swapped (which is equivalent by ancom 264). The union of a class df-uni 3790 should not be confused with the union of two classes df-un 3120. Their relationship is shown in unipr 3803. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧(∃𝑤(𝑧 ∈ 𝑤 ∧ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑥) → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦)
Theorem	zfun 4412*	Axiom of Union expressed with the fewest number of different variables. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-2003.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦(∃𝑥(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 ∧ 𝑥 ∈ 𝑧) → 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	axun2 4413*	A variant of the Axiom of Union ax-un 4411. For any set 𝑥, there exists a set 𝑦 whose members are exactly the members of the members of 𝑥 i.e. the union of 𝑥. Axiom Union of [BellMachover] p. 466. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-2006.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧(𝑧 ∈ 𝑦 ↔ ∃𝑤(𝑧 ∈ 𝑤 ∧ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑥))
Theorem	uniex2 4414*	The Axiom of Union using the standard abbreviation for union. Given any set 𝑥, its union 𝑦 exists. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-2006.)
⊢ ∃𝑦 𝑦 = ∪ 𝑥
Theorem	uniex 4415	The Axiom of Union in class notation. This says that if 𝐴 is a set i.e. 𝐴 ∈ V (see isset 2732), then the union of 𝐴 is also a set. Same as Axiom 3 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 16. (Contributed by NM, 11-Aug-1993.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ ∪ 𝐴 ∈ V
Theorem	vuniex 4416	The union of a setvar is a set. (Contributed by BJ, 3-May-2021.)
⊢ ∪ 𝑥 ∈ V
Theorem	uniexg 4417	The ZF Axiom of Union in class notation, in the form of a theorem instead of an inference. We use the antecedent 𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 instead of 𝐴 ∈ V to make the theorem more general and thus shorten some proofs; obviously the universal class constant V is one possible substitution for class variable 𝑉. (Contributed by NM, 25-Nov-1994.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∪ 𝐴 ∈ V)
Theorem	uniexd 4418	Deduction version of the ZF Axiom of Union in class notation. (Contributed by Glauco Siliprandi, 26-Jun-2021.)

⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐵 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) ∈ V

⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ V ∧ 𝐵 ∈ V) ↔ (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) ∈ V)
Theorem	unexg 4421	A union of two sets is a set. Corollary 5.8 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 16. (Contributed by NM, 18-Sep-2006.)
⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝑊) → (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) ∈ V)

⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ 𝑈 ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝑉 ∧ 𝐶 ∈ 𝑊) → {𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶} ∈ V)
Theorem	unisn3 4423*	Union of a singleton in the form of a restricted class abstraction. (Contributed by NM, 3-Jul-2008.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 → ∪ {𝑥 ∈ 𝐵 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝐴} = 𝐴)
Theorem	abnexg 4424*	Sufficient condition for a class abstraction to be a proper class. The class 𝐹 can be thought of as an expression in 𝑥 and the abstraction appearing in the statement as the class of values 𝐹 as 𝑥 varies through 𝐴. Assuming the antecedents, if that class is a set, then so is the "domain" 𝐴. The converse holds without antecedent, see abrexexg 6086. Note that the second antecedent ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴𝑥 ∈ 𝐹 cannot be translated to 𝐴 ⊆ 𝐹 since 𝐹 may depend on 𝑥. In applications, one may take 𝐹 = {𝑥} or 𝐹 = 𝒫 𝑥 (see snnex 4426 and pwnex 4427 respectively, proved from abnex 4425, which is a consequence of abnexg 4424 with 𝐴 = V). (Contributed by BJ, 2-Dec-2021.)

Theorem	onsucelsucr 4485	Membership is inherited by predecessors. The converse, for all ordinals, implies excluded middle, as shown at onsucelsucexmid 4507. However, the converse does hold where 𝐵 is a natural number, as seen at nnsucelsuc 6459. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 17-Jul-2019.)

Theorem	ordtriexmidlem 4496	Lemma for decidability and ordinals. The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} is a way of connecting statements about ordinals (such as trichotomy in ordtriexmid 4498 or weak linearity in ordsoexmid 4539) with a proposition 𝜑. Our lemma states that it is an ordinal number. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 28-Jan-2019.)

Theorem	ordtriexmidlem2 4497*	Lemma for decidability and ordinals. The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} is a way of connecting statements about ordinals (such as trichotomy in ordtriexmid 4498 or weak linearity in ordsoexmid 4539) with a proposition 𝜑.

Theorem	ordtriexmid 4498*	Ordinal trichotomy implies the law of the excluded middle (that is, decidability of an arbitrary proposition). This theorem is stated in "Constructive ordinals", [Crosilla], p. "Set-theoretic principles incompatible with intuitionistic logic". Also see exmidontri 7195 which is much the same theorem but biconditionalized and using the EXMID notation. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 14-Nov-2018.)
