1.7.2  Intuitionistic logic Intuitionistic (constructive) logic is similar to classical logic with the notable omission of ax-3 8 and theorems such as exmid 907 or peirce 205. We mostly treat intuitionistic logic in a separate file, iset.mm, which is known as the Intuitionistic Logic Explorer on the web site. However, iset.mm has a number of additional axioms (mainly to replace definitions like df-or 861 and df-ex 1803 which are not valid in intuitionistic logic) and we want to prove those axioms here to demonstrate that adding those axioms in iset.mm does not make iset.mm any less consistent than set.mm. The following axioms are unchanged between set.mm and iset.mm: ax-1 6, ax-2 7, ax-mp 5, ax-4 1832, ax-11 2194, ax-gen 1818, ax-7 2031, ax-12 2215, ax-8 2147, ax-9 2155, and ax-5 1933. In this list of axioms, the ones that repeat earlier theorems are marked "(New usage is discouraged.)" so that the earlier theorems will be used consistently in other proofs.

Theorem	axi9 2733	Axiom of existence (intuitionistic logic axiom ax-i9). In classical logic, this is equivalent to ax-6 1990 but in intuitionistic logic it needs to be stated using the existential quantifier. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 31-Dec-2017.) (New usage is discouraged.)

But in intuitionistic logic, it is not easy to add the extra ∀𝑥 to axi12 2735 and so we treat the two as separate axioms. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2406. (Contributed by Jim Kingdon, 22-Mar-2018.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 24-Apr-2023.) (New usage is discouraged.)

PART 2  ZF (ZERMELO-FRAENKEL) SET THEORY Set theory uses the formalism of propositional and predicate calculus to assert properties of arbitrary mathematical objects called "sets". A set can be an element of another set, and this relationship is indicated by the ∈ symbol. Starting with the simplest mathematical object, called the empty set, set theory builds up more and more complex structures whose existence follows from the axioms, eventually resulting in extremely complicated sets that we identify with the real numbers and other familiar mathematical objects. A simplistic concept of sets, sometimes called "naive set theory", is vulnerable to a paradox called "Russell's Paradox" (ru 3746), a discovery that revolutionized the foundations of mathematics and logic. Russell's Paradox spawned the development of set theories that countered the paradox, including the ZF set theory that is most widely used and is defined here. Except for Extensionality, the axioms basically say, "given an arbitrary set x (and, in the cases of Replacement and Regularity, provided that an antecedent is satisfied), there exists another set y based on or constructed from it, with the stated properties". (The axiom of extensionality can also be restated this way as shown by axexte 2738.) The individual axiom links provide more detailed descriptions. We derive the redundant ZF axioms of Separation, Null Set, and Pairing from the others as theorems.
2.1  ZF Set Theory - start with the Axiom of Extensionality
2.1.1  Introduce the Axiom of Extensionality
Axiom	ax-ext 2737*	Axiom of extensionality. An axiom of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. It states that two sets are identical if they contain the same elements. Axiom Ext of [BellMachover] p. 461. Its converse is a theorem of predicate logic, elequ2g 2161. Set theory can also be formulated with a single primitive predicate ∈ on top of traditional predicate calculus without equality. In that case the Axiom of Extensionality becomes (∀𝑤(𝑤 ∈ 𝑥 ↔ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑦) → (𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 → 𝑦 ∈ 𝑧)), and equality 𝑥 = 𝑦 is defined as ∀𝑤(𝑤 ∈ 𝑥 ↔ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑦). All of the usual axioms of equality then become theorems of set theory. See, for example, Axiom 1 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 8. To use the above "equality-free" version of Extensionality with Metamath's predicate calculus axioms, we would rewrite all axioms involving equality with equality expanded according to the above definition. Some of those axioms may be provable from ax-ext and would become redundant, but this hasn't been studied carefully. General remarks: Our set theory axioms are presented using defined connectives (↔, ∃, etc.) for convenience. However, it is implicitly understood that the actual axioms use only the primitive connectives →, ¬, ∀, =, and ∈. It is straightforward to establish the equivalence between the actual axioms and the ones we display, and we will not do so. It is important to understand that strictly speaking, all of our set theory axioms are really schemes that represent an infinite number of actual axioms. This is inherent in the design of Metamath ("metavariable math"), which manipulates only metavariables. For example, the metavariable 𝑥 in ax-ext 2737 can represent any actual variable v1, v2, v3,... . Distinct variable restrictions ($d) prevent us from substituting say v1 for both 𝑥 and 𝑧. This is in contrast to typical textbook presentations that present actual axioms (except for Replacement ax-rep 5232, which involves a wff metavariable). In practice, though, the theorems and proofs are essentially the same. The $d restrictions make each of the infinite axioms generated by the ax-ext 2737 scheme exactly logically equivalent to each other and in particular to the actual axiom of the textbook version. (Contributed by NM, 21-May-1993.)
⊢ (∀𝑧(𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 ↔ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦) → 𝑥 = 𝑦)
Theorem	axexte 2738*	The axiom of extensionality (ax-ext 2737) restated so that it postulates the existence of a set 𝑧 given two arbitrary sets 𝑥 and 𝑦. This way to express it follows the general idea of the other ZFC axioms, which is to postulate the existence of sets given other sets. (Contributed by NM, 28-Sep-2003.)
⊢ ∃𝑧((𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 ↔ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦) → 𝑥 = 𝑦)
Theorem	axextg 2739*	A generalization of the axiom of extensionality in which 𝑥 and 𝑦 need not be distinct. (Contributed by NM, 15-Sep-1993.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 12-Aug-2011.) Remove dependencies on ax-10 2178, ax-12 2215, ax-13 2406. (Revised by BJ, 12-Jul-2019.) (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 9-Dec-2019.)
⊢ (∀𝑧(𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 ↔ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦) → 𝑥 = 𝑦)
Theorem	axextb 2740*	A bidirectional version of the axiom of extensionality. Although this theorem looks like a definition of equality, it requires the axiom of extensionality for its proof under our axiomatization. See the comments for ax-ext 2737 and df-cleq 2757. (Contributed by NM, 14-Nov-2008.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 ↔ ∀𝑧(𝑧 ∈ 𝑥 ↔ 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦))
Theorem	axextmo 2741*	There exists at most one set with prescribed elements. Theorem 1.1 of [BellMachover] p. 462. (Contributed by NM, 30-Jun-1994.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 13-Nov-2019.) Use the at-most-one quantifier. (Revised by BJ, 17-Sep-2022.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑥𝜑    ⇒   ⊢ ∃*𝑥∀𝑦(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 ↔ 𝜑)
Theorem	nulmo 2742*	There exists at most one empty set. With either axnul 5260 or axnulALT 5259 or ax-nul 5261, this proves that there exists a unique empty set. In practice, once the language of classes is available, we use the stronger characterization among classes eq0 4305. (Contributed by NM, 22-Dec-2007.) Use the at-most-one quantifier. (Revised by BJ, 17-Sep-2022.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 26-Apr-2023.)
⊢ ∃*𝑥∀𝑦 ¬ 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥
2.1.2  Classes
2.1.2.1  Class abstractions
Syntax	cab 2743	Introduce the class abstraction (or class builder) notation: {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} is the class of sets 𝑥 such that 𝜑(𝑥) is true. A setvar variable can be expressed as a class abstraction per Theorem cvjust 2759, justifying the substitution of class variables for setvar variables via the use of cv 1562.
class {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑}
Definition	df-clab 2744	Define class abstractions, that is, classes of the form {𝑦 ∣ 𝜑}, which is read "the class of sets 𝑦 such that 𝜑(𝑦)". A few remarks are in order: 1. The axiomatic statement df-clab 2744 does not define the class abstraction {𝑦 ∣ 𝜑} itself, that is, it does not have the form ⊢ {𝑦 ∣ 𝜑} = ... that a standard definition should have (for a good reason: equality itself has not yet been defined or axiomatized for class abstractions; it is defined later in df-cleq 2757). Instead, df-clab 2744 has the form ⊢ (𝑥 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ 𝜑} ↔ ...), meaning that it only defines what it means for a setvar to be a member of a class abstraction. As a consequence, one can say that df-clab 2744 defines class abstractions if and only if a class abstraction is completely determined by which elements belong to it, which is the content of the axiom of extensionality ax-ext 2737. Therefore, df-clab 2744 can be considered a definition only in systems that can prove ax-ext 2737 (and the necessary first-order logic). 2. As in all definitions, the definiendum (the left-hand side of the biconditional) has no disjoint variable conditions. In particular, the setvar variables 𝑥 and 𝑦 need not be distinct, and the formula 𝜑 may depend on both 𝑥 and 𝑦. This is necessary, as with all definitions, since if there was for instance a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦, then one could not do anything with expressions like 𝑥 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} which are sometimes useful to shorten proofs (because of abid 2747). Most often, however, 𝑥 does not occur in {𝑦 ∣ 𝜑} and 𝑦 is free in 𝜑. 3. Remark 1 stresses that df-clab 2744 does not have the standard form of a definition for a class, but one could be led to think it has the standard form of a definition for a formula. However, it also fails that test since the membership predicate ∈ has already appeared earlier (outside of syntax e.g. in ax-8 2147). Indeed, the definiendum extends, or "overloads", the membership predicate ∈ from formulas of the form "setvar ∈ setvar" to formulas of the form "setvar ∈ class abstraction". This is possible because of wcel 2145 and cab 2743, and it can be called an "extension" of the membership predicate because of wel 2146, whose proof uses cv 1562. An a posteriori justification for cv 1562 is given by cvjust 2759, stating that every setvar can be written as a class abstraction (though conversely not every class abstraction is a set, as illustrated by Russell's paradox ru 3746). 4. Proof techniques. Because class variables can be substituted with compound expressions and setvar variables cannot, it is often useful to convert a theorem containing a free setvar variable to a more general version with a class variable. This is done with theorems such as vtoclg 3525 which is used, for example, to convert elirrv 9547 to elirr 9550. 5. Definition or axiom? The question arises with the three axiomatic statements introducing classes, df-clab 2744, df-cleq 2757, and df-clel 2840, to decide if they qualify as definitions or if they should be called axioms. Under the strict definition of "definition" (see conventions 30660), they are not definitions (see Remarks 1 and 3 above, and similarly for df-cleq 2757 and df-clel 2840). One could be less strict and decide to call "definition" every axiomatic statement which provides an eliminable and conservative extension of the considered axiom system. But the notion of conservativity may be given two different meanings in set.mm, due to the difference between the "scheme level" of set.mm and the "object level" of classical treatments. For a proof that these three axiomatic statements yield an eliminable and weakly (that is, object-level) conservative extension of FOL= plus ax-ext 2737, see Appendix of [Levy] p. 357. 6. References and history. The concept of class abstraction dates back to at least Frege, and is used by Whitehead and Russell. This definition is Definition 2.1 of [Quine] p. 16 and Axiom 4.3.1 of [Levy] p. 12. It is called the "axiom of class comprehension" by [Levy] p. 358, who treats the theory of classes as an extralogical extension to predicate logic and set theory axioms. He calls the construction {𝑦 ∣ 𝜑} a "class term". For a full description of how classes are introduced and how to recover the primitive language, see the books of Quine and Levy (and the comment of eqabb 2904 for a quick overview). For a general discussion of the theory of classes, see mmset.html#class 2904. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 19-Aug-2023.)

Theorem	eleq1ab 2745	Extension (in the sense of Remark 3 of the comment of df-clab 2744) of elequ1 2152 from formulas of the form "setvar ∈ setvar" to formulas of the form "setvar ∈ class abstraction". This extension does not require ax-8 2147 contrary to elequ1 2152, but recall from Remark 3 of the comment of df-clab 2744 that it can be considered an extension only because of cvjust 2759, which does require ax-8 2147. This is an instance of eleq1w 2848 where the containing class is a class abstraction, and contrary to it, it can be proved without df-clel 2840. See also eleq1 2853 for general classes. The straightforward yet important fact that this statement can be proved from FOL= plus df-clab 2744 (hence without ax-ext 2737, df-cleq 2757 or df-clel 2840) was stressed by Mario Carneiro.

⊢ (∀𝑥𝜑 → 𝑦 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑})
Theorem	vexw 2749	If 𝜑 is a theorem, then any set belongs to the class {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑}. Therefore, {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} is "a" universal class. This is the closest one can get to defining a universal class, or proving vex 3461, without using ax-ext 2737. Note that this theorem has no disjoint variable condition and does not use df-clel 2840 nor df-cleq 2757 either: only propositional logic and ax-gen 1818 and df-clab 2744. This is sbt 2098 expressed using class abstractions. Without ax-ext 2737, one cannot define "the" universal class, since one could not prove for instance the justification theorem {𝑥 ∣ ⊤} = {𝑦 ∣ ⊤} (see vjust 3458). Indeed, in order to prove any equality of classes, one needs df-cleq 2757, which has ax-ext 2737 as a hypothesis. Therefore, the classes {𝑥 ∣ ⊤}, {𝑦 ∣ (𝜑 → 𝜑)}, {𝑧 ∣ (∀𝑡𝑡 = 𝑡 → ∀𝑡𝑡 = 𝑡)} and countless others are all universal classes whose equality cannot be proved without ax-ext 2737. Once dfcleq 2758 is available, we will define "the" universal class in df-v 3459. Its degenerate instance is also a simple consequence of abid 2747 (using mpbir 234).

2.1.2.2  Class equality This section introduces class equality in df-cleq 2757. Note that apart from the local introduction of class variables to state the syntax axioms wceq 1563 and wcel 2145, this section is the first to use class variables. Therefore, the file set.mm contains declarations of class variables at the beginning of this section (not visible on the webpages).
Definition	df-cleq 2757*	Define the equality connective between classes. Definition 2.7 of [Quine] p. 18. Also Definition 4.5 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 13; Chapter 4 provides its justification and methods for eliminating it. Note that its elimination will not necessarily result in a single wff in the original language but possibly a "scheme" of wffs. The hypotheses express that all instances of the conclusion where class variables are replaced with setvar variables hold. Therefore, this definition merely extends to class variables something that is true for setvar variables, hence is conservative. This is only a proof sketch of conservativity; for details see Appendix of [Levy] p. 357. This is the reason why we call this axiomatic statement a "definition", even though it does not have the usual form of a definition. If we required a definition to have the usual form, we would call df-cleq 2757 an axiom. See also comments under df-clab 2744, df-clel 2840, and eqabb 2904. In the form of dfcleq 2758, this is called the "axiom of extensionality" by [Levy] p. 338, who treats the theory of classes as an extralogical extension to our logic and set theory axioms. While the three class definitions df-clab 2744, df-cleq 2757, and df-clel 2840 are eliminable and conservative and thus meet the requirements for sound definitions, they are technically axioms in that they do not satisfy the requirements for the current definition checker. The proofs of conservativity require external justification that is beyond the scope of the definition checker. For a general discussion of the theory of classes, see mmset.html#class 2840.

Theorem	dfcleq 2758*	The defining characterization of class equality. It is proved, over Tarski's FOL, from the axiom of (set) extensionality (ax-ext 2737) and the definition of class equality (df-cleq 2757). Its forward implication is called "class extensionality". Remark: the proof uses axextb 2740 to prove also the hypothesis of df-cleq 2757 that is a degenerate instance, but it could be proved also from minimal propositional calculus and { ax-gen 1818, equid 2035 }. (Contributed by NM, 15-Sep-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 24-Jun-2019.)
⊢ (𝐴 = 𝐵 ↔ ∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐵))
Theorem	cvjust 2759*	Every set is a class. Proposition 4.9 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 13. This theorem shows that a setvar variable can be expressed as a class abstraction. This provides a motivation for the class syntax construction cv 1562, which allows to substitute a setvar variable for a class variable. See also cab 2743 and df-clab 2744. Note that this is not a rigorous justification, because cv 1562 is used as part of the proof of this theorem, but a careful argument can be made outside of the formalism of Metamath, for example as is done in Chapter 4 of Takeuti and Zaring. See also the discussion under the definition of class in [Jech] p. 4 showing that "Every set can be considered to be a class." See abid1 2901 for the version of cvjust 2759 extended to classes.
