⊢ {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} ∈ On
Theorem	ordtriexmidlem2 4641*	Lemma for decidability and ordinals. The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} is a way of connecting statements about ordinals (such as trichotomy in ordtriexmid 4642 or weak linearity in ordsoexmid 4683) with a proposition 𝜑.

⊢ ({𝑥 ∈ {∅} ∣ 𝜑} = ∅ → ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	ordtriexmid 4642*	Ordinal trichotomy implies the law of the excluded middle (that is, decidability of an arbitrary proposition).

Also see exmidontri 7548 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 4650*	Lemma for onsucelsucexmid 4651. The set {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = ∅ ∨ 𝜑)} appears as 𝐴 in the proof of Theorem 1.3 in [Bauer] p. 483 (see acexmidlema 6040), and similar sets also appear in other proofs that various propositions imply excluded middle, for example in ordtriexmidlem 4640.

⊢ {𝑥 ∈ {∅, {∅}} ∣ (𝑥 = ∅ ∨ 𝜑)} ∈ On
Theorem	onsucelsucexmid 4651*	The converse of onsucelsucr 4629 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 4629 does hold, as seen at nnsucelsuc 6723.

Theorem	regexmidlemm 4653*	Lemma for regexmid 4656. 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 4655*	Lemma for reg2exmid 4657. 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 4656*	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 4658. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 3-Sep-2019.)
⊢ (∃𝑦 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 → ∃𝑦(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 ∧ ∀𝑧(𝑧 ∈ 𝑦 → ¬ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∨ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	reg2exmid 4657*	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 4658*	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 4659*	∈-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 4660*	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 4661	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 4662	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 4658, we could redefine Ord 𝐴 (df-iord 4486) to also require E Fr 𝐴 (df-frind 4452) and in that case any theorem related to irreflexivity of ordinals could use ordirr 4663 (which under that definition would presumably not need ax-setind 4658 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 4663. To encourage ordirr 4663 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 4663	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 4658. If in the definition of ordinals df-iord 4486, we also required that membership be well-founded on any ordinal (see df-frind 4452), then we could prove ordirr 4663 without ax-setind 4658. (Contributed by NM, 2-Jan-1994.)
⊢ (Ord 𝐴 → ¬ 𝐴 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	onirri 4664	An ordinal number is not a member of itself. Theorem 7M(c) of [Enderton] p. 192. (Contributed by NM, 11-Jun-1994.)

⊢ ((Ord 𝐴 ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝐴) → 𝐴 ≠ 𝐵)
Theorem	ordn2lp 4666	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))

⊢ (Ord 𝐴 → (𝐴 ∩ {𝐴}) = ∅)

⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ∉ 𝑥} = V
Theorem	ruALT 4672	Alternate proof of Russell's Paradox ru 3040, simplified using (indirectly) the Axiom of Set Induction ax-setind 4658. (Contributed by Alan Sare, 4-Oct-2008.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ∉ 𝑥} ∉ V
Theorem	onprc 4673	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 4607), 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 4674	The class of all ordinal numbers is its own successor. (Contributed by NM, 12-Sep-2003.)
⊢ suc On = On
Theorem	en2lp 4675	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 4676	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 4677	Theorem for alternate representation of ordered pairs, requiring the Axiom of Set Induction ax-setind 4658 (via the preleq 4676 step). See df-op 3697 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 4678	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 4679	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 4680*	At least two sets exist (or in terms of first-order logic, the universe of discourse has two or more objects). Although dtruarb 4303 can also be summarized as "at least two sets exist", the difference is that dtruarb 4303 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 4681*	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 4680. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 29-Dec-2018.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	eunex 4682	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 4683	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	nlimsucg 4687	A successor is not a limit ordinal. (Contributed by NM, 25-Mar-1995.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 27-Aug-2011.)

Theorem	ordpwsucss 4688	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 4491 given excluded middle. It is an ordinal, and has some successor-like properties. For example, if 𝐴 ∈ On then both ∪ suc 𝐴 = 𝐴 (onunisuci 4552) and ∪ {𝑥 ∈ On ∣ 𝑥 ⊆ 𝐴} = 𝐴 (onuniss2 4633). Constructively (𝒫 𝐴 ∩ On) and suc 𝐴 cannot be shown to be equivalent (as proved at ordpwsucexmid 4691). (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 21-Jul-2019.)
