Definition df-ers 38371

Description: Define the class of equivalence relations on domain quotients (or: domain quotients restricted to equivalence relations).

The present definition of equivalence relation in set.mm df-er 8723 "is not standard", "somewhat cryptic", has no constant 0-ary class and does not follow the traditional transparent reflexive-symmetric-transitive relation way of definition of equivalence. Definitions df-eqvrels 38292, dfeqvrels2 38296, dfeqvrels3 38297 and df-eqvrel 38293, dfeqvrel2 38298, dfeqvrel3 38299 are fully transparent in this regard. However, they lack the domain component (dom 𝑅 = 𝐴) of the present df-er 8723. While we acknowledge the need of a domain component, the present df-er 8723 definition does not utilize the results revealed by the new theorems in the Partition-Equivalence Theorem part below (like pets 38560 and pet 38559). From those theorems follows that the natural domain of equivalence relations is

not 𝑅Domain𝐴 (i.e. dom 𝑅 = 𝐴 see brdomaing 35769),

but 𝑅 DomainQss 𝐴 (i.e. (dom 𝑅 / 𝑅) = 𝐴, see brdmqss 38354), see erimeq 38387 vs. prter3 38590.

While I'm sure we need both equivalence relation df-eqvrels 38292 and equivalence relation on domain quotient df-ers 38371, I'm not sure whether we need a third equivalence relation concept with the present dom 𝑅 = 𝐴 component as well: this needs further investigation. As a default I suppose that these two concepts df-eqvrels 38292 and df-ers 38371 are enough and named the predicate version of the one on domain quotient as the alternate version df-erALTV 38372 of the present df-er 8723.
