wff Ord 𝐴
Syntax	con0 4506	Extend the definition of a class to include the class of all ordinal numbers. (The 0 in the name prevents creating a file called con.html, which causes problems in Windows.)

Syntax	csuc 4508	Extend class notation to include the successor function.
class suc 𝐴
Definition	df-iord 4509*	Define the ordinal predicate, which is true for a class that is transitive and whose elements are transitive. Definition of ordinal in [Crosilla], p. "Set-theoretic principles incompatible with intuitionistic logic". Some sources will define a notation for ordinal order corresponding to < and ≤ but we just use ∈ and ⊆ respectively. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 10-Oct-2018.) Use its alias dford3 4510 instead for naming consistency with set.mm. (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (Ord 𝐴 ↔ (Tr 𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 Tr 𝑥))
Theorem	dford3 4510*	Alias for df-iord 4509. Use it instead of df-iord 4509 for naming consistency with set.mm. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 10-Oct-2018.)
⊢ (Ord 𝐴 ↔ (Tr 𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 Tr 𝑥))
Definition	df-on 4511	Define the class of all ordinal numbers. Definition 7.11 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 38. (Contributed by NM, 5-Jun-1994.)
⊢ On = {𝑥 ∣ Ord 𝑥}
Definition	df-ilim 4512	Define the limit ordinal predicate, which is true for an ordinal that has the empty set as an element and is not a successor (i.e. that is the union of itself). Our definition combines the definition of Lim of [BellMachover] p. 471 and Exercise 1 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 42, and then changes 𝐴 ≠ ∅ to ∅ ∈ 𝐴 (which would be equivalent given the law of the excluded middle, but which is not for us). (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 11-Nov-2018.) Use its alias dflim2 4513 instead for naming consistency with set.mm. (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (Lim 𝐴 ↔ (Ord 𝐴 ∧ ∅ ∈ 𝐴 ∧ 𝐴 = ∪ 𝐴))
Theorem	dflim2 4513	Alias for df-ilim 4512. Use it instead of df-ilim 4512 for naming consistency with set.mm. (Contributed by NM, 4-Nov-2004.)
⊢ (Lim 𝐴 ↔ (Ord 𝐴 ∧ ∅ ∈ 𝐴 ∧ 𝐴 = ∪ 𝐴))
Definition	df-suc 4514	Define the successor of a class. When applied to an ordinal number, the successor means the same thing as "plus 1". Definition 7.22 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 41, who use "+ 1" to denote this function. Our definition is a generalization to classes. Although it is not conventional to use it with proper classes, it has no effect on a proper class (sucprc 4555). Some authors denote the successor operation with a prime (apostrophe-like) symbol, such as Definition 6 of [Suppes] p. 134 and the definition of successor in [Mendelson] p. 246 (who uses the symbol "Suc" as a predicate to mean "is a successor ordinal"). The definition of successor of [Enderton] p. 68 denotes the operation with a plus-sign superscript. (Contributed by NM, 30-Aug-1993.)

2.4  IZF Set Theory - add the Axiom of Union
2.4.1  Introduce the Axiom of Union
Axiom	ax-un 4576*	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 4578 states that the union itself exists. A version with the standard abbreviation for union is uniex2 4579. A version using class notation is uniex 4581. 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 4252), and (c) the order of the conjuncts is swapped (which is equivalent by ancom 266). The union of a class df-uni 3934 should not be confused with the union of two classes df-un 3224. Their relationship is shown in unipr 3947. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧(∃𝑤(𝑧 ∈ 𝑤 ∧ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑥) → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦)
Theorem	zfun 4577*	Axiom of Union expressed with the fewest number of different variables. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-2003.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦(∃𝑥(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 ∧ 𝑥 ∈ 𝑧) → 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	axun2 4578*	A variant of the Axiom of Union ax-un 4576. 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 4579*	The Axiom of Union using the standard abbreviation for union. Given any set 𝑥, its union 𝑦 exists. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-2006.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 14-Jul-2026.)
⊢ ∃𝑦 𝑦 = ∪ 𝑥
Theorem	uniex2OLD 4580*	Obsolete version of uniex2 4579 as of 14-Jul-2026. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-2006.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ∃𝑦 𝑦 = ∪ 𝑥
Theorem	uniex 4581	The Axiom of Union in class notation. This says that if 𝐴 is a set i.e. 𝐴 ∈ V (see isset 2828), then the union of 𝐴 is also a set. Same as Axiom 3 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 16. (Contributed by NM, 11-Aug-1993.)

⊢ ∪ 𝑥 ∈ V
Theorem	uniexg 4583	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 ∈ 𝐵 → ∪ {𝑥 ∈ 𝐵 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝐴} = 𝐴)
Theorem	abnexg 4590*	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 6341. 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 4592 and pwnex 4593 respectively, proved from abnex 4591, which is a consequence of abnexg 4590 with 𝐴 = V). (Contributed by BJ, 2-Dec-2021.)
