Definition df-bj-moore 36475

Description: Define the class of Moore collections. This is indeed the class of all Moore collections since these all are sets, as proved in bj-mooreset 36473, and as illustrated by the lack of sethood condition in bj-ismoore 36476.

This is to df-mre 17529 (defining Moore) what df-top 22718 (defining Top) is to df-topon 22735 (defining TopOn).

For the sake of consistency, the function defined at df-mre 17529 should be denoted by "MooreOn".

Note: df-mre 17529 singles out the empty intersection. This is not necessary. It could be written instead ⊢ Moore = (𝑥 ∈ V ↦ {𝑦 ∈ 𝒫 𝒫 𝑥 ∣ ∀𝑧 ∈ 𝒫 𝑦(𝑥 ∩ ∩ 𝑧) ∈ 𝑦}) and the equivalence of both definitions is proved by bj-0int 36472.

There is no added generality in defining a "Moore predicate" for arbitrary classes, since a Moore class satisfying such a predicate is automatically a set (see bj-mooreset 36473).

TODO: move to the main section. For many families of sets, one can define both the function associating to each set the set of families of that kind on it (like df-mre 17529 and df-topon 22735) or the class of all families of that kind, independent of a base set (like df-bj-moore 36475 or df-top 22718). In general, the former will be more useful and the extra generality of the latter is not necessary. Moore collections, however, are particular in that they are more ubiquitous and are used in a wide variety of applications (for many families of sets, the family of families of a given kind is often a Moore collection, for instance). Therefore, in the case of Moore families, having both definitions is useful.
