1.4.9  Membership predicate
Syntax	wcel 2108	Extend wff definition to include the membership connective between classes. For a general discussion of the theory of classes, see mmset.html#class. The purpose of introducing wff 𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 here is to allow to prove the wel 2109 of predicate calculus in terms of the wcel 2108 of set theory, so that we do not overload the ∈ connective with two syntax definitions. This is done to prevent ambiguity that would complicate some Metamath parsers. The class variables 𝐴 and 𝐵 are introduced temporarily for the purpose of this definition but otherwise not used in predicate calculus. See df-clab 2715 for more information on the set theory usage of wcel 2108.
wff 𝐴 ∈ 𝐵
Theorem	wel 2109	Extend wff definition to include atomic formulas with the membership predicate. This is read either "𝑥 is an element of 𝑦", or "𝑥 is a member of 𝑦", or "𝑥 belongs to 𝑦", or "𝑦 contains 𝑥". Note: The phrase "𝑦 includes 𝑥 " means "𝑥 is a subset of 𝑦"; to use it also for 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦, as some authors occasionally do, is poor form and causes confusion, according to George Boolos (1992 lecture at MIT). This syntactic construction introduces a binary non-logical predicate symbol ∈ (stylized lowercase epsilon) into our predicate calculus. We will eventually use it for the membership predicate of set theory, but that is irrelevant at this point: the predicate calculus axioms for ∈ apply to any arbitrary binary predicate symbol. "Non-logical" means that the predicate is presumed to have additional properties beyond the realm of predicate calculus, although these additional properties are not specified by predicate calculus itself but rather by the axioms of a theory (in our case set theory) added to predicate calculus. "Binary" means that the predicate has two arguments. Instead of introducing wel 2109 as an axiomatic statement, as was done in an older version of this database, we introduce it by "proving" a special case of set theory's more general wcel 2108. This lets us avoid overloading the ∈ connective, thus preventing ambiguity that would complicate certain Metamath parsers. However, logically wel 2109 is considered to be a primitive syntax, even though here it is artificially "derived" from wcel 2108. Note: To see the proof steps of this syntax proof, type "MM> SHOW PROOF wel / ALL" in the Metamath program. (Contributed by NM, 24-Jan-2006.)
wff 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦
1.4.10  Axiom scheme ax-8 (Left Equality for Binary Predicate)
Axiom	ax-8 2110	Axiom of Left Equality for Binary Predicate. One of the equality and substitution axioms for a non-logical predicate in our predicate calculus with equality. It substitutes equal variables into the left-hand side of an arbitrary binary predicate ∈, which we will use for the set membership relation when set theory is introduced. This axiom scheme is a sub-scheme of Axiom Scheme B8 of system S2 of [Tarski], p. 75, whose general form cannot be represented with our notation. Also appears as Axiom scheme C12' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). "Non-logical" means that the predicate is not a primitive of predicate calculus proper but instead is an extension to it. "Binary" means that the predicate has two arguments. In a system of predicate calculus with equality, like ours, equality is not usually considered to be a non-logical predicate. In systems of predicate calculus without equality, it typically would be. We prove in ax8 2114 that this axiom can be recovered from its weakened version ax8v 2111 where 𝑥 and 𝑦 are assumed to be disjoint variables. In particular, the only theorem referencing ax-8 2110 should be ax8v 2111. See the comment of ax8v 2111 for more details on these matters. (Contributed by NM, 30-Jun-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 7-Dec-2020.) Use ax8 2114 instead. (New usage is discouraged.)

Theorem	ax8v 2111*	Weakened version of ax-8 2110, with a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦. This should be the only proof referencing ax-8 2110, and it should be referenced only by its two weakened versions ax8v1 2112 and ax8v2 2113, from which ax-8 2110 is then rederived as ax8 2114, which shows that either ax8v 2111 or the conjunction of ax8v1 2112 and ax8v2 2113 is sufficient.

Theorem	cleljust 2117*	When the class variables in Definition df-clel 2816 are replaced with setvar variables, this theorem of predicate calculus is the result. This theorem provides part of the justification for the consistency of that definition, which "overloads" the setvar variables in wel 2109 with the class variables in wcel 2108. (Contributed by NM, 28-Jan-2004.) Revised to use equsexvw 2004 in order to remove dependencies on ax-10 2141, ax-12 2177, ax-13 2377. Note that there is no disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦, that is, on the variables of the left-hand side, as should be the case for definitions. (Revised by BJ, 29-Dec-2020.)

1.4.11  Axiom scheme ax-9 (Right Equality for Binary Predicate)

1.4.12  Logical redundancy of ax-10 , ax-11 , ax-12 , ax-13 The original axiom schemes of Tarski's predicate calculus are ax-4 1809, ax-5 1910, ax6v 1968, ax-7 2007, ax-8 2110, and ax-9 2118, together with rule ax-gen 1795. See mmset.html#compare 1795. They are given as axiom schemes B4 through B8 in [KalishMontague] p. 81. These are shown to be logically complete by Theorem 1 of [KalishMontague] p. 85. The axiom system of set.mm includes the auxiliary axiom schemes ax-10 2141, ax-11 2157, ax-12 2177, and ax-13 2377, which are not part of Tarski's axiom schemes. Each object-language instance of them is provable from Tarski's axioms, so they are logically redundant. However, they are conjectured not to be provable directly as schemes from Tarski's axiom schemes using only Metamath's direct substitution rule. They are used to make our system "scheme complete", i.e., able to prove directly all possible schemes with wff and setvar variables, bundled or not, whose object-language instances are valid. (ax-12 2177 has been proved to be required; see https://us.metamath.org/award2003.html#9a 2177. Metalogical independence of the other three are open problems.) (There are additional predicate calculus axiom schemes included in set.mm such as ax-c5 38884, but they can all be proved as theorems from the above.) Terminology: Two setvar (individual) metavariables are "bundled" in an axiom or theorem scheme when there is no distinct variable constraint ($d) imposed on them. (The term "bundled" is due to Raph Levien.) For example, the 𝑥 and 𝑦 in ax-6 1967 are bundled, but they are not in ax6v 1968. We also say that a scheme is bundled when it has at least one pair of bundled setvar variables. If distinct variable conditions are added to all setvar variable pairs in a bundled scheme, we call that the "principal" instance of the bundled scheme. For example, ax6v 1968 is the principal instance of ax-6 1967. Whenever a common variable is substituted for two or more bundled variables in an axiom or theorem scheme, we call the substitution instance "degenerate". For example, the instance ¬ ∀𝑥¬ 𝑥 = 𝑥 of ax-6 1967 is degenerate. An advantage of bundling is ease of use since there are fewer distinct variable restrictions ($d) to be concerned with, and theorems are more general. There may be some economy in being able to prove facts about principal and degenerate instances simultaneously. A disadvantage is that bundling may present difficulties in translations to other proof languages, which typically lack the concept (in part because their variables often represent the variables of the object language rather than metavariables ranging over them). Because Tarski's axiom schemes are logically complete, they can be used to prove any object-language instance of ax-10 2141, ax-11 2157, ax-12 2177, and ax-13 2377. "Translating" this to Metamath, it means that Tarski's axioms can prove any substitution instance of ax-10 2141, ax-11 2157, ax-12 2177, or ax-13 2377 in which (1) there are no wff metavariables and (2) all setvar variables are mutually distinct i.e. are not bundled. In effect this is mimicking the object language by pretending that each setvar variable is an object-language variable. (There may also be specific instances with wff metavariables and/or bundling that are directly provable from Tarski's axiom schemes, but it isn't guaranteed. Whether all of them are possible is part of the still open metalogical independence problem for our additional axiom schemes.) It can be useful to see how this can be done, both to show that our additional schemes are valid metatheorems of Tarski's system and to be able to translate object-language instances of our proofs into proofs that would work with a system using only Tarski's original schemes. In addition, it may (or may not) provide insight into the conjectured metalogical independence of our additional schemes. The theorem schemes ax10w 2129, ax11w 2130, ax12w 2133, and ax13w 2136 are derived using only Tarski's axiom schemes, showing that Tarski's schemes can be used to derive all substitution instances of ax-10 2141, ax-11 2157, ax-12 2177, and ax-13 2377 meeting Conditions (1) and (2). (The "w" suffix stands for "weak version".) Each hypothesis of ax10w 2129, ax11w 2130, and ax12w 2133 is of the form (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓)) where 𝜓 is an auxiliary or "dummy" wff metavariable in which 𝑥 doesn't occur. We can show by induction on formula length that the hypotheses can be eliminated in all cases meeting Conditions (1) and (2). The example ax12wdemo 2135 illustrates the techniques (equality theorems and bound variable renaming) used to achieve this. We also show the degenerate instances for axioms with bundled variables in ax11dgen 2131, ax12dgen 2134, ax13dgen1 2137, ax13dgen2 2138, ax13dgen3 2139, and ax13dgen4 2140. (Their proofs are trivial, but we include them to be thorough.) Combining the principal and degenerate cases outside of Metamath, we show that the bundled schemes ax-10 2141, ax-11 2157, ax-12 2177, and ax-13 2377 are schemes of Tarski's system, meaning that all object-language instances they generate are theorems of Tarski's system. It is interesting that Tarski used the bundled scheme ax-6 1967 in an older system, so it seems the main purpose of his later ax6v 1968 was just to show that the weaker unbundled form is sufficient rather than an aesthetic objection to bundled free and bound variables. Since we adopt the bundled ax-6 1967 as our official axiom, we show that the degenerate instance holds in ax6dgen 2128. (Recall that in set.mm, the only statement referencing ax-6 1967 is ax6v 1968.) The case of sp 2183 is curious: originally an axiom scheme of Tarski's system, it was proved logically redundant by Lemma 9 of [KalishMontague] p. 86. However, the proof is by induction on formula length, and the scheme form ∀𝑥𝜑 → 𝜑 apparently cannot be proved directly from Tarski's other axiom schemes. The best we can do seems to be spw 2033, again requiring substitution instances of 𝜑 that meet Conditions (1) and (2) above. Note that our direct proof sp 2183 requires ax-12 2177, which is not part of Tarski's system.
Theorem	ax6dgen 2128	Tarski's system uses the weaker ax6v 1968 instead of the bundled ax-6 1967, so here we show that the degenerate case of ax-6 1967 can be derived. Even though ax-6 1967 is in the list of axioms used, recall that in set.mm, the only statement referencing ax-6 1967 is ax6v 1968. We later rederive from ax6v 1968 the bundled form as ax6 2389 with the help of the auxiliary axiom schemes. (Contributed by NM, 23-Apr-2017.)

1.5  Predicate calculus with equality: Auxiliary axiom schemes (4 schemes) In this section we introduce four additional schemes ax-10 2141, ax-11 2157, ax-12 2177, and ax-13 2377 that are not part of Tarski's system but can be proved (outside of Metamath) as theorem schemes of Tarski's system. These are needed to give our system the property of "scheme completeness", which means that we can prove (with Metamath) all possible theorem schemes expressible in our language of wff metavariables ranging over object-language wffs, and setvar variables ranging over object-language individual variables. To show that these schemes are valid metatheorems of Tarski's system S2, above we proved from Tarski's system theorems ax10w 2129, ax11w 2130, ax12w 2133, and ax13w 2136, which show that any object-language instance of these schemes (emulated by having no wff metavariables and requiring all setvar variables to be mutually distinct) can be proved using only the schemes in Tarski's system S2. An open problem is to show that these four additional schemes are mutually metalogically independent and metalogically independent from Tarski's. So far, independence of ax-12 2177 from all others has been shown, and independence of Tarski's ax-6 1967 from all others has been shown; see items 9a and 11 on https://us.metamath.org/award2003.html 1967.
1.5.1  Axiom scheme ax-10 (Quantified Negation)
Axiom	ax-10 2141	Axiom of Quantified Negation. Axiom C5-2 of [Monk2] p. 113. This axiom scheme is logically redundant (see ax10w 2129) but is used as an auxiliary axiom scheme to achieve scheme completeness. It means that 𝑥 is not free in ¬ ∀𝑥𝜑. (Contributed by NM, 21-May-2008.) Use its alias hbn1 2142 instead if you must use it. Any theorem in first-order logic (FOL) that contains only set variables that are all mutually distinct, and has no wff variables, can be proved *without* using ax-10 2141 through ax-13 2377, by invoking ax10w 2129 through ax13w 2136. We encourage proving theorems *without* ax-10 2141 through ax-13 2377 and moving them up to the ax-4 1809 through ax-9 2118 section. (New usage is discouraged.)

1.5.3  Axiom scheme ax-12 (Substitution)
Axiom	ax-12 2177	Axiom of Substitution. One of the 5 equality axioms of predicate calculus. The final consequent ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑) is a way of expressing "𝑦 substituted for 𝑥 in wff 𝜑 " (cf. sb6 2085). It is based on Lemma 16 of [Tarski] p. 70 and Axiom C8 of [Monk2] p. 105, from which it can be proved by cases. The original version of this axiom was ax-c15 38890 and was replaced with this shorter ax-12 2177 in Jan. 2007. The old axiom is proved from this one as Theorem axc15 2427. Conversely, this axiom is proved from ax-c15 38890 as Theorem ax12 2428. Juha Arpiainen proved the metalogical independence of this axiom (in the form of the older axiom ax-c15 38890) from the others on 19-Jan-2006. See item 9a at https://us.metamath.org/award2003.html 38890. See ax12v 2178 and ax12v2 2179 for other equivalents of this axiom that (unlike this axiom) have distinct variable restrictions. This axiom scheme is logically redundant (see ax12w 2133) but is used as an auxiliary axiom scheme to achieve scheme completeness. (Contributed by NM, 22-Jan-2007.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (∀𝑦𝜑 → ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝜑)))
Theorem	ax12v 2178*	This is essentially Axiom ax-12 2177 weakened by additional restrictions on variables. Besides axc11r 2371, this theorem should be the only one referencing ax-12 2177 directly. Both restrictions on variables have their own value. If for a moment we assume 𝑥 could be set to 𝑦, then, after elimination of the tautology 𝑦 = 𝑦, immediately we have 𝜑 → ∀𝑦𝜑 for all 𝜑 and 𝑦, that is ax-5 1910, a degenerate result. The second restriction is not necessary, but a simplification that makes the following interpretation easier to see. Since 𝜑 textually at most depends on 𝑥, we can look at it at some given 'fixed' 𝑦. This theorem now states that the truth value of 𝜑 will stay constant, as long as we 'vary 𝑥 around 𝑦' only such that 𝑥 = 𝑦 still holds. Or in other words, equality is the finest grained logical expression. If you cannot differ two sets by =, you won't find a whatever sophisticated expression that does. One might wonder how the described variation of 𝑥 is possible at all. Note that Metamath is a text processor that easily sees a difference between text chunks {𝑥 ∣ ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑥} and {𝑦 ∣ ¬ 𝑦 = 𝑦}. Our usual interpretation is to abstract from textual variations of the same set, but we are free to interpret Metamath's formalism differently, and in fact let 𝑥 run through all textual representations of sets. Had we allowed 𝜑 to depend also on 𝑦, this idea is both harder to see, and it is less clear that this extra freedom introduces effects not covered by other axioms.

Theorem	ax12v2 2179*	It is possible to remove any restriction on 𝜑 in ax12v 2178. Same as Axiom C8 of [Monk2] p. 105. Use ax12v 2178 instead when sufficient. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)

Theorem	sp 2183	Specialization. A universally quantified wff implies the wff without a quantifier. Axiom scheme B5 of [Tarski] p. 67 (under his system S2, defined in the last paragraph on p. 77). Also appears as Axiom scheme C5' in [Megill] p. 448 (p. 16 of the preprint). This corresponds to the axiom (T) of modal logic. For the axiom of specialization presented in many logic textbooks, see Theorem stdpc4 2068. This theorem shows that our obsolete axiom ax-c5 38884 can be derived from the others. The proof uses ideas from the proof of Lemma 21 of [Monk2] p. 114. It appears that this scheme cannot be derived directly from Tarski's axioms without auxiliary axiom scheme ax-12 2177. It is thought the best we can do using only Tarski's axioms is spw 2033. Also see spvw 1980 where 𝑥 and 𝜑 are disjoint, using fewer axioms. (Contributed by NM, 21-May-2008.)
