Statement
Theorem	onsucelsucr 4501	Membership is inherited by predecessors. The converse, for all ordinals, implies excluded middle, as shown at onsucelsucexmid 4523. However, the converse does hold where 𝐵 is a natural number, as seen at nnsucelsuc 6482. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 17-Jul-2019.)

Theorem	onsucsssucr 4502	The subclass relationship between two ordinals is inherited by their predecessors. The converse implies excluded middle, as shown at onsucsssucexmid 4520. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 29-Jul-2019.)

⊢ (∃𝑥 ∈ On 𝜑 → ∩ {𝑥 ∈ On ∣ 𝜑} ∈ On)
Theorem	ordtriexmidlem 4512	Lemma for decidability and ordinals. The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} is a way of connecting statements about ordinals (such as trichotomy in ordtriexmid 4514 or weak linearity in ordsoexmid 4555) with a proposition 𝜑. Our lemma states that it is an ordinal number. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 28-Jan-2019.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} ∈ On
Theorem	ordtriexmidlem2 4513*	Lemma for decidability and ordinals. The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} is a way of connecting statements about ordinals (such as trichotomy in ordtriexmid 4514 or weak linearity in ordsoexmid 4555) with a proposition 𝜑. Our lemma helps connect that set to excluded middle. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 28-Jan-2019.)
⊢ ({𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} = ∅ → ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	ordtriexmid 4514*	Ordinal trichotomy implies the law of the excluded middle (that is, decidability of an arbitrary proposition).

Also see exmidontri 7228 which is much the same theorem but biconditionalized and using the EXMID notation. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 14-Nov-2018.)

⊢ ∅ ∈ {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = ∅ ∨ 𝜑)}
Theorem	onsucelsucexmidlem 4522*	Lemma for onsucelsucexmid 4523. The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = ∅ ∨ 𝜑)} appears as 𝐴 in the proof of Theorem 1.3 in [Bauer] p. 483 (see acexmidlema 5856), and similar sets also appear in other proofs that various propositions imply excluded middle, for example in ordtriexmidlem 4512. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 2-Aug-2019.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = ∅ ∨ 𝜑)} ∈ On
Theorem	onsucelsucexmid 4523*	The converse of onsucelsucr 4501 implies excluded middle. On the other hand, if 𝑦 is constrained to be a natural number, instead of an arbitrary ordinal, then the converse of onsucelsucr 4501 does hold, as seen at nnsucelsuc 6482. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 2-Aug-2019.)

2.5  IZF Set Theory - add the Axiom of Set Induction
2.5.1  The ZF Axiom of Foundation would imply Excluded Middle
Theorem	regexmidlemm 4525*	Lemma for regexmid 4528. 𝐴 is inhabited. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 3-Sep-2019.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = {∅} ∨ (𝑥 = ∅ ∧ 𝜑))}    ⇒   ⊢ ∃𝑦 𝑦 ∈ 𝐴

⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = {∅} ∨ (𝑥 = ∅ ∧ 𝜑))}    ⇒   ⊢ (∃𝑦(𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑧(𝑧 ∈ 𝑦 → ¬ 𝑧 ∈ 𝐴)) → (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑))
Theorem	reg2exmidlema 4527*	Lemma for reg2exmid 4529. If 𝐴 has a minimal element (expressed by ⊆), excluded middle follows. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 2-Oct-2021.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = {∅} ∨ (𝑥 = ∅ ∧ 𝜑))}    ⇒   ⊢ (∃𝑢 ∈ 𝐴 ∀𝑣 ∈ 𝐴 𝑢 ⊆ 𝑣 → (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑))
Theorem	regexmid 4528*	The axiom of foundation implies excluded middle. By foundation (or regularity), we mean the principle that every inhabited set has an element which is minimal (when arranged by ∈). The statement of foundation here is taken from Metamath Proof Explorer's ax-reg, and is identical (modulo one unnecessary quantifier) to the statement of foundation in Theorem "Foundation implies instances of EM" of [Crosilla], p. "Set-theoretic principles incompatible with intuitionistic logic". For this reason, IZF does not adopt foundation as an axiom and instead replaces it with ax-setind 4530. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 3-Sep-2019.)
⊢ (∃𝑦 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 → ∃𝑦(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑧(𝑧 ∈ 𝑦 → ¬ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	reg2exmid 4529*	If any inhabited set has a minimal element (when expressed by ⊆), excluded middle follows. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 2-Oct-2021.)
⊢ ∀𝑧(∃𝑤 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧 → ∃𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑧 𝑥 ⊆ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
2.5.2  Introduce the Axiom of Set Induction
Axiom	ax-setind 4530*	Axiom of ∈-Induction (also known as set induction). An axiom of Intuitionistic Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Axiom 9 of [Crosilla] p. "Axioms of CZF and IZF". This replaces the Axiom of Foundation (also called Regularity) from Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. For more on axioms which might be adopted which are incompatible with this axiom (that is, Non-wellfounded Set Theory but in the absence of excluded middle), see Chapter 20 of [AczelRathjen], p. 183. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 19-Oct-2018.)
⊢ (∀𝑎(∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑎 [𝑦 / 𝑎]𝜑 → 𝜑) → ∀𝑎𝜑)
Theorem	setindel 4531*	∈-Induction in terms of membership in a class. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 22-Oct-2018.)
⊢ (∀𝑥(∀𝑦(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 → 𝑦 ∈ 𝑆) → 𝑥 ∈ 𝑆) → 𝑆 = V)
Theorem	setind 4532*	Set (epsilon) induction. Theorem 5.22 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 21. (Contributed by NM, 17-Sep-2003.)
⊢ (∀𝑥(𝑥 ⊆ 𝐴 → 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴) → 𝐴 = V)
Theorem	setind2 4533	Set (epsilon) induction, stated compactly. Given as a homework problem in 1992 by George Boolos (1940-1996). (Contributed by NM, 17-Sep-2003.)
⊢ (𝒫 𝐴 ⊆ 𝐴 → 𝐴 = V)
Theorem	elirr 4534	No class is a member of itself. Exercise 6 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 22. The reason that this theorem is marked as discouraged is a bit subtle. If we wanted to reduce usage of ax-setind 4530, we could redefine Ord 𝐴 (df-iord 4360) to also require E Fr 𝐴 (df-frind 4326) and in that case any theorem related to irreflexivity of ordinals could use ordirr 4535 (which under that definition would presumably not need ax-setind 4530 to prove it). But since ordinals have not yet been defined that way, we cannot rely on the "don't add additional axiom use" feature of the minimizer to get theorems to use ordirr 4535. To encourage ordirr 4535 when possible, we mark this theorem as discouraged. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Proof rewritten by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 26-Nov-2018.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ¬ 𝐴 ∈ 𝐴
Theorem	ordirr 4535	Epsilon irreflexivity of ordinals: no ordinal class is a member of itself. Theorem 2.2(i) of [BellMachover] p. 469, generalized to classes. The present proof requires ax-setind 4530. If in the definition of ordinals df-iord 4360, we also required that membership be well-founded on any ordinal (see df-frind 4326), then we could prove ordirr 4535 without ax-setind 4530. (Contributed by NM, 2-Jan-1994.)
⊢ (Ord 𝐴 → ¬ 𝐴 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	onirri 4536	An ordinal number is not a member of itself. Theorem 7M(c) of [Enderton] p. 192. (Contributed by NM, 11-Jun-1994.)

Theorem	ordn2lp 4538	An ordinal class cannot be an element of one of its members. Variant of first part of Theorem 2.2(vii) of [BellMachover] p. 469. (Contributed by NM, 3-Apr-1994.)
⊢ (Ord 𝐴 → ¬ (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝐴))

⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ∉ 𝑥} = V
Theorem	ruALT 4544	Alternate proof of Russell's Paradox ru 2959, simplified using (indirectly) the Axiom of Set Induction ax-setind 4530. (Contributed by Alan Sare, 4-Oct-2008.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ∉ 𝑥} ∉ V
Theorem	onprc 4545	No set contains all ordinal numbers. Proposition 7.13 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 38. This is also known as the Burali-Forti paradox (remark in [Enderton] p. 194). In 1897, Cesare Burali-Forti noticed that since the "set" of all ordinal numbers is an ordinal class (ordon 4479), it must be both an element of the set of all ordinal numbers yet greater than every such element. ZF set theory resolves this paradox by not allowing the class of all ordinal numbers to be a set (so instead it is a proper class). Here we prove the denial of its existence. (Contributed by NM, 18-May-1994.)
⊢ ¬ On ∈ V
Theorem	sucon 4546	The class of all ordinal numbers is its own successor. (Contributed by NM, 12-Sep-2003.)
⊢ suc On = On
Theorem	en2lp 4547	No class has 2-cycle membership loops. Theorem 7X(b) of [Enderton] p. 206. (Contributed by NM, 16-Oct-1996.) (Proof rewritten by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 27-Nov-2018.)
⊢ ¬ (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	preleq 4548	Equality of two unordered pairs when one member of each pair contains the other member. (Contributed by NM, 16-Oct-1996.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐵 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐶 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐷 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ (((𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 ∧ 𝐶 ∈ 𝐷) ∧ {𝐴, 𝐵} = {𝐶, 𝐷}) → (𝐴 = 𝐶 ∧ 𝐵 = 𝐷))
Theorem	opthreg 4549	Theorem for alternate representation of ordered pairs, requiring the Axiom of Set Induction ax-setind 4530 (via the preleq 4548 step). See df-op 3598 for a description of other ordered pair representations. Exercise 34 of [Enderton] p. 207. (Contributed by NM, 16-Oct-1996.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐵 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐶 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐷 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ ({𝐴, {𝐴, 𝐵}} = {𝐶, {𝐶, 𝐷}} ↔ (𝐴 = 𝐶 ∧ 𝐵 = 𝐷))
Theorem	suc11g 4550	The successor operation behaves like a one-to-one function (assuming the Axiom of Set Induction). Similar to Exercise 35 of [Enderton] p. 208 and its converse. (Contributed by NM, 25-Oct-2003.)
⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝑊) → (suc 𝐴 = suc 𝐵 ↔ 𝐴 = 𝐵))
Theorem	suc11 4551	The successor operation behaves like a one-to-one function. Compare Exercise 16 of [Enderton] p. 194. (Contributed by NM, 3-Sep-2003.)
⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ On ∧ 𝐵 ∈ On) → (suc 𝐴 = suc 𝐵 ↔ 𝐴 = 𝐵))
Theorem	dtruex 4552*	At least two sets exist (or in terms of first-order logic, the universe of discourse has two or more objects). Although dtruarb 4186 can also be summarized as "at least two sets exist", the difference is that dtruarb 4186 shows the existence of two sets which are not equal to each other, but this theorem says that given a specific 𝑦, we can construct a set 𝑥 which does not equal it. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Dec-2018.)
⊢ ∃𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	dtru 4553*	At least two sets exist (or in terms of first-order logic, the universe of discourse has two or more objects). If we assumed the law of the excluded middle this would be equivalent to dtruex 4552. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Dec-2018.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	eunex 4554	Existential uniqueness implies there is a value for which the wff argument is false. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Dec-2018.)
⊢ (∃!𝑥𝜑 → ∃𝑥 ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	ordsoexmid 4555	Weak linearity of ordinals implies the law of the excluded middle (that is, decidability of an arbitrary proposition). (Contributed by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 29-Jan-2019.)
⊢ E Or On    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	ordsuc 4556	The successor of an ordinal class is ordinal. (Contributed by NM, 3-Apr-1995.) (Constructive proof by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 20-Jul-2019.)
⊢ (Ord 𝐴 ↔ Ord suc 𝐴)
Theorem	onsucuni2 4557	A successor ordinal is the successor of its union. (Contributed by NM, 10-Dec-2004.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 27-Aug-2011.)

⊢ ∀𝑥 ∈ On ∅ ∈ suc 𝑥    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	nlimsucg 4559	A successor is not a limit ordinal. (Contributed by NM, 25-Mar-1995.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 27-Aug-2011.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ¬ Lim suc 𝐴)
Theorem	ordpwsucss 4560	The collection of ordinals in the power class of an ordinal is a superset of its successor. We can think of (𝒫 𝐴 ∩ On) as another possible definition of successor, which would be equivalent to df-suc 4365 given excluded middle. It is an ordinal, and has some successor-like properties. For example, if 𝐴 ∈ On then both ∪ suc 𝐴 = 𝐴 (onunisuci 4426) and ∪ {𝑥 ∈ On ∣ 𝑥 ⊆ 𝐴} = 𝐴 (onuniss2 4505). Constructively (𝒫 𝐴 ∩ On) and suc 𝐴 cannot be shown to be equivalent (as proved at ordpwsucexmid 4563). (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 21-Jul-2019.)
⊢ (Ord 𝐴 → suc 𝐴 ⊆ (𝒫 𝐴 ∩ On))

⊢ ((𝐴 ⊆ On ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝐴) → ¬ 𝐵 ∈ ∩ 𝐴)
Theorem	ssnel 4562	Relationship between subset and elementhood. In the context of ordinals this can be seen as an ordering law. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 22-Jul-2019.)
⊢ (𝐴 ⊆ 𝐵 → ¬ 𝐵 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	ordpwsucexmid 4563*	The subset in ordpwsucss 4560 cannot be equality. That is, strengthening it to equality implies excluded middle. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 30-Jul-2019.)

Theorem	onintexmid 4566*	If the intersection (infimum) of an inhabited class of ordinal numbers belongs to the class, excluded middle follows. The hypothesis would be provable given excluded middle. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro and Jim Kingdon, 29-Aug-2021.)

Theorem	reg3exmid 4573*	If any inhabited set satisfying df-wetr 4328 for E has a minimal element, excluded middle follows. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 3-Oct-2021.)
⊢ (( E We 𝑧 ∧ ∃𝑤 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧) → ∃𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑧 𝑥 ⊆ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	dcextest 4574*	If it is decidable whether {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} is a set, then ¬ 𝜑 is decidable (where 𝑥 does not occur in 𝜑). From this fact, we can deduce (outside the formal system, since we cannot quantify over classes) that if it is decidable whether any class is a set, then "weak excluded middle" (that is, any negated proposition ¬ 𝜑 is decidable) holds. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 3-Jul-2022.)

2.5.3  Transfinite induction
Theorem	tfi 4575*	The Principle of Transfinite Induction. Theorem 7.17 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 39. This principle states that if 𝐴 is a class of ordinal numbers with the property that every ordinal number included in 𝐴 also belongs to 𝐴, then every ordinal number is in 𝐴.

⊢ ∃𝑥(∅ ∈ 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 → suc 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥))
Theorem	zfinf2 4582*	A standard version of the Axiom of Infinity, using definitions to abbreviate. Axiom Inf of [BellMachover] p. 472. (Contributed by NM, 30-Aug-1993.)

2.6.2  The natural numbers
Syntax	com 4583	Extend class notation to include the class of natural numbers.
class ω
Definition	df-iom 4584*	Define the class of natural numbers as the smallest inductive set, which is valid provided we assume the Axiom of Infinity. Definition 6.3 of [Eisenberg] p. 82. Note: the natural numbers ω are a subset of the ordinal numbers df-on 4362. Later, when we define complex numbers, we will be able to also define a subset of the complex numbers (df-inn 8893) with analogous properties and operations, but they will be different sets. We are unable to use the terms finite ordinal and natural number interchangeably, as shown at exmidonfin 7183. (Contributed by NM, 6-Aug-1994.) Use its alias dfom3 4585 instead for naming consistency with set.mm. (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ω = ∩ {𝑥 ∣ (∅ ∈ 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 suc 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥)}
Theorem	dfom3 4585*	Alias for df-iom 4584. Use it instead of df-iom 4584 for naming consistency with set.mm. (Contributed by NM, 6-Aug-1994.)
⊢ ω = ∩ {𝑥 ∣ (∅ ∈ 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 suc 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥)}

Theorem	peano1 4587	Zero is a natural number. One of Peano's five postulates for arithmetic. Proposition 7.30(1) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 42. (Contributed by NM, 15-May-1994.)

⊢ (𝐴 ∈ ω → suc 𝐴 ≠ ∅)
Theorem	peano4 4590	Two natural numbers are equal iff their successors are equal, i.e. the successor function is one-to-one. One of Peano's five postulates for arithmetic. Proposition 7.30(4) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 43. (Contributed by NM, 3-Sep-2003.)
⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ ω ∧ 𝐵 ∈ ω) → (suc 𝐴 = suc 𝐵 ↔ 𝐴 = 𝐵))
Theorem	peano5 4591*	The induction postulate: any class containing zero and closed under the successor operation contains all natural numbers. One of Peano's five postulates for arithmetic. Proposition 7.30(5) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 43. The more traditional statement of mathematical induction as a theorem schema, with a basis and an induction step, is derived from this theorem as Theorem findes 4596.

2.6.4  Finite induction (for finite ordinals)
Theorem	find 4592*	The Principle of Finite Induction (mathematical induction). Corollary 7.31 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 43. The simpler hypothesis shown here was suggested in an email from "Colin" on 1-Oct-2001. The hypothesis states that 𝐴 is a set of natural numbers, zero belongs to 𝐴, and given any member of 𝐴 the member's successor also belongs to 𝐴. The conclusion is that every natural number is in 𝐴. (Contributed by NM, 22-Feb-2004.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 27-Aug-2011.)
