Theorem	nulmo 2701*	There exists at most one empty set. With either axnul 5306 or axnulALT 5305 or ax-nul 5307, 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 4343. (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.)

2.1.2  Classes
2.1.2.1  Class abstractions
Syntax	cab 2702	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 2719, justifying the substitution of class variables for setvar variables via the use of cv 1532.
class {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑}
Definition	df-clab 2703	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 2703 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 2717). Instead, df-clab 2703 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 2703 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 2696. Therefore, df-clab 2703 can be considered a definition only in systems that can prove ax-ext 2696 (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 2706). Most often, however, 𝑥 does not occur in {𝑦 ∣ 𝜑} and 𝑦 is free in 𝜑. 3. Remark 1 stresses that df-clab 2703 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 2100). 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 2098 and cab 2702, and it can be called an "extension" of the membership predicate because of wel 2099, whose proof uses cv 1532. An a posteriori justification for cv 1532 is given by cvjust 2719, 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 3772). 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 3532 which is used, for example, to convert elirrv 9621 to elirr 9622. 5. Definition or axiom? The question arises with the three axiomatic statements introducing classes, df-clab 2703, df-cleq 2717, and df-clel 2802, to decide if they qualify as definitions or if they should be called axioms. Under the strict definition of "definition" (see conventions 30282), they are not definitions (see Remarks 1 and 3 above, and similarly for df-cleq 2717 and df-clel 2802). 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 2696, 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 2865 for a quick overview). For a general discussion of the theory of classes, see mmset.html#class 2865. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 19-Aug-2023.)

Theorem	eleq1ab 2704	Extension (in the sense of Remark 3 of the comment of df-clab 2703) of elequ1 2105 from formulas of the form "setvar ∈ setvar" to formulas of the form "setvar ∈ class abstraction". This extension does not require ax-8 2100 contrary to elequ1 2105, but recall from Remark 3 of the comment of df-clab 2703 that it can be considered an extension only because of cvjust 2719, which does require ax-8 2100. This is an instance of eleq1w 2808 where the containing class is a class abstraction, and contrary to it, it can be proved without df-clel 2802. See also eleq1 2813 for general classes. The straightforward yet important fact that this statement can be proved from FOL= plus df-clab 2703 (hence without ax-ext 2696, df-cleq 2717 or df-clel 2802) was stressed by Mario Carneiro. (Contributed by BJ, 17-Aug-2023.)

Theorem	cleljustab 2705*	Extension of cleljust 2107 from formulas of the form "setvar ∈ setvar" to formulas of the form "setvar ∈ class abstraction". This is an instance of dfclel 2803 where the containing class is a class abstraction. The same remarks as for eleq1ab 2704 apply. (Contributed by BJ, 8-Nov-2021.) (Proof shortened by Steven Nguyen, 19-May-2023.)

Theorem	abid 2706	Simplification of class abstraction notation when the free and bound variables are identical. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.)
⊢ (𝑥 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} ↔ 𝜑)
Theorem	vexwt 2707	A standard theorem of predicate calculus (stdpc4 2063) expressed using class abstractions. Closed form of vexw 2708. (Contributed by BJ, 14-Jun-2019.)
⊢ (∀𝑥𝜑 → 𝑦 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑})
Theorem	vexw 2708	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 3465, without using ax-ext 2696. Note that this theorem has no disjoint variable condition and does not use df-clel 2802 nor df-cleq 2717 either: only propositional logic and ax-gen 1789 and df-clab 2703. This is sbt 2061 expressed using class abstractions. Without ax-ext 2696, one cannot define "the" universal class, since one could not prove for instance the justification theorem {𝑥 ∣ ⊤} = {𝑦 ∣ ⊤} (see vjust 3462). Indeed, in order to prove any equality of classes, one needs df-cleq 2717, which has ax-ext 2696 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 2696. Once dfcleq 2718 is available, we will define "the" universal class in df-v 3463. Its degenerate instance is also a simple consequence of abid 2706 (using mpbir 230). (Contributed by BJ, 13-Jun-2019.) Reduce axiom dependencies. (Revised by Steven Nguyen, 25-Apr-2023.)
⊢ 𝜑    ⇒   ⊢ 𝑦 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑}
Theorem	vextru 2709	Every setvar is a member of {𝑥 ∣ ⊤}, which is therefore "a" universal class. Once class extensionality dfcleq 2718 is available, we can say "the" universal class (see df-v 3463). This is sbtru 2062 expressed using class abstractions. (Contributed by BJ, 2-Sep-2023.)

⊢ Ⅎ𝑥𝜑    ⇒   ⊢ Ⅎ𝑥 𝑧 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ 𝜑}
2.1.2.2  Class equality This section introduces class equality in df-cleq 2717. Note that apart from the local introduction of class variables to state the syntax axioms wceq 1533 and wcel 2098, 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 2717*	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 2717 an axiom. See also comments under df-clab 2703, df-clel 2802, and eqabb 2865. In the form of dfcleq 2718, 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 2703, df-cleq 2717, and df-clel 2802 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 2802. (Contributed by NM, 15-Sep-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 24-Jun-2019.)
⊢ (𝑦 = 𝑧 ↔ ∀𝑢(𝑢 ∈ 𝑦 ↔ 𝑢 ∈ 𝑧))    &   ⊢ (𝑡 = 𝑡 ↔ ∀𝑣(𝑣 ∈ 𝑡 ↔ 𝑣 ∈ 𝑡))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐴 = 𝐵 ↔ ∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐵))
Theorem	dfcleq 2718*	The defining characterization of class equality. It is proved, over Tarski's FOL, from the axiom of (set) extensionality (ax-ext 2696) and the definition of class equality (df-cleq 2717). Its forward implication is called "class extensionality". Remark: the proof uses axextb 2699 to prove also the hypothesis of df-cleq 2717 that is a degenerate instance, but it could be proved also from minimal propositional calculus and { ax-gen 1789, equid 2007 }. (Contributed by NM, 15-Sep-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 24-Jun-2019.)
⊢ (𝐴 = 𝐵 ↔ ∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐵))
Theorem	cvjust 2719*	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 1532, which allows to substitute a setvar variable for a class variable. See also cab 2702 and df-clab 2703. Note that this is not a rigorous justification, because cv 1532 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 2862 for the version of cvjust 2719 extended to classes.

Theorem	ax9ALT 2720	Proof of ax-9 2108 from Tarski's FOL and dfcleq 2718. For a version not using ax-8 2100 either, see eleq2w2 2721. This shows that dfcleq 2718 is too powerful to be used as a definition instead of df-cleq 2717. Note that ax-ext 2696 is also a direct consequence of dfcleq 2718 (as an instance of its forward implication). (Contributed by BJ, 24-Jun-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Compare eleq2w 2809, whose setvars appear where the class variables are in this theorem, and vice versa. (Contributed by BJ, 24-Jun-2019.) Strengthen from setvar variables to class variables.

An early mention of this law can be found in Aristotle, Metaphysics, Z.17, 1041a10-20. (Thanks to Stefan Allan and BJ for this information.) (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
