Theorem	iseqsetvlem 2824*	Lemma for iseqsetv-cleq 2825. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 17-Aug-2025.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴 ↔ ∃𝑧 𝑧 = 𝐴)
Theorem	iseqsetv-cleq 2825*	Alternate proof of iseqsetv-clel 2840. The expression ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝐴 does not depend on a particular choice of the set variable. The proof here avoids df-clab 2740, df-clel 2836 and ax-8 2143, but instead is based on ax-9 2151, ax-ext 2733 and df-cleq 2753. In particular it still accepts 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 being a primitive syntax term, not assuming any specific semantics (like elementhood in some form). Use it in contexts where you want to avoid df-clab 2740, or you need df-cleq 2753 anyway. See the alternative version , not using df-cleq 2753 or ax-ext 2733 or ax-9 2151. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 6-Aug-2025.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	abbib 2830	Equal class abstractions require equivalent formulas, and conversely. (Contributed by NM, 25-Nov-2013.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 11-Aug-2016.) Remove dependency on ax-8 2143 and df-clel 2836 (by avoiding use of cleqh 2890). (Revised by BJ, 23-Jun-2019.) Definitial form. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 23-Feb-2025.)
⊢ ({𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑥 ∣ 𝜓} ↔ ∀𝑥(𝜑 ↔ 𝜓))
Theorem	cbvabv 2831*	Rule used to change bound variables, using implicit substitution. Version of cbvab 2833 with disjoint variable conditions requiring fewer axioms. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1999.) Require 𝑥, 𝑦 be disjoint to avoid ax-11 2190 and ax-13 2402. (Revised by Steven Nguyen, 4-Dec-2022.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓))    ⇒   ⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑦 ∣ 𝜓}
Theorem	cbvabw 2832*	Rule used to change bound variables, using implicit substitution. Version of cbvab 2833 with a disjoint variable condition, which does not require ax-10 2174, ax-13 2402. (Contributed by Andrew Salmon, 11-Jul-2011.) (Revised by GG, 23-May-2024.)
⊢ Ⅎ𝑦𝜑    &   ⊢ Ⅎ𝑥𝜓    &   ⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓))    ⇒   ⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑦 ∣ 𝜓}
Theorem	cbvab 2833	Rule used to change bound variables, using implicit substitution. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2402. Usage of the weaker cbvabw 2832 and cbvabv 2831 are preferred. (Contributed by Andrew Salmon, 11-Jul-2011.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 16-Nov-2019.) (New usage is discouraged.)

2.1.2.3  Class membership
Definition	df-clel 2836*	Define the membership connective between classes. Theorem 6.3 of [Quine] p. 41, or Proposition 4.6 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 13, which we adopt as a definition. See these references for its metalogical justification. 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-clel 2836 an axiom. See also comments under df-clab 2740, df-cleq 2753, and eqabb 2900. Alternate characterizations of 𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 when either 𝐴 or 𝐵 is a set are given by clel2g 3617, clel3g 3619, and clel4g 3621. This is called the "axiom of membership" 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 2740, df-cleq 2753, and df-clel 2836 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 2836. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 27-Jun-2019.)
⊢ (𝑦 ∈ 𝑧 ↔ ∃𝑢(𝑢 = 𝑦 ∧ 𝑢 ∈ 𝑧))    &   ⊢ (𝑡 ∈ 𝑡 ↔ ∃𝑣(𝑣 = 𝑡 ∧ 𝑣 ∈ 𝑡))    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 ↔ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝐴 ∧ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐵))
Theorem	dfclel 2837*	Characterization of the elements of a class. (Contributed by BJ, 27-Jun-2019.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 ↔ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝐴 ∧ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐵))
Theorem	elex2 2838*	If a class contains another class, then it contains some set. (Contributed by Alan Sare, 25-Sep-2011.) Avoid ax-9 2151, ax-ext 2733, df-clab 2740. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 30-Nov-2024.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 → ∃𝑥 𝑥 ∈ 𝐵)
Theorem	issettru 2839*	Weak version of isset 3467. (Contributed by BJ, 24-Apr-2024.)
⊢ (∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴 ↔ 𝐴 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ ⊤})
Theorem	iseqsetv-clel 2840*	Alternate proof of iseqsetv-cleq 2825. The expression ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝐴 does not depend on a particular choice of the set variable. Use this theorem in contexts where df-cleq 2753 or ax-ext 2733 is not referenced elsewhere in your proof. It is proven from a specific implementation (class builder, axiom df-clab 2740) of the primitive term 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴 ↔ ∃𝑦 𝑦 = 𝐴)
Theorem	issetlem 2841*	Lemma for elisset 2843 and isset 3467. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.) Extract from the proof of isset 3467. (Revised by WL, 2-Feb-2025.)
⊢ 𝑥 ∈ 𝑉    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 ↔ ∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴)
Theorem	elissetv 2842*	An element of a class exists. Version of elisset 2843 with a disjoint variable condition on 𝑉, 𝑥, avoiding df-clab 2740. Prefer its use over elisset 2843 when sufficient (for instance in usages where 𝑥 is a dummy variable). (Contributed by BJ, 14-Sep-2019.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴)
Theorem	elisset 2843*	An element of a class exists. Use elissetv 2842 instead when sufficient (for instance in usages where 𝑥 is a dummy variable). (Contributed by NM, 1-May-1995.) Reduce dependencies on axioms. (Revised by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴)
Theorem	eleq1w 2844	Weaker version of eleq1 2849 (but more general than elequ1 2148) not depending on ax-ext 2733 nor df-cleq 2753. Note that this provides a proof of ax-8 2143 from Tarski's FOL and dfclel 2837 (simply consider an instance where 𝐴 is replaced by a setvar and deduce the forward implication by biimpd 232), which shows that dfclel 2837 is too powerful to be used as a definition instead of df-clel 2836. (Contributed by BJ, 24-Jun-2019.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ 𝑦 ∈ 𝐴))
Theorem	eleq2w 2845	Weaker version of eleq2 2850 (but more general than elequ2 2156) not depending on ax-ext 2733 nor df-cleq 2753. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Sep-2019.)

Theorem	eleq1d 2846	Deduction from equality to equivalence of membership. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.) Allow shortening of eleq1 2849. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 20-Nov-2019.)

⊢ (𝜑 → 𝐴 = 𝐵)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 → (𝐶 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ 𝐶 ∈ 𝐵))
Theorem	eleq2dALT 2848	Alternate proof of eleq2d 2847, shorter at the expense of requiring ax-12 2211. (Contributed by NM, 27-Dec-1993.) (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 20-Nov-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)

Theorem	abid1 2897*	Every class is equal to a class abstraction (the class of sets belonging to it). Theorem 5.2 of [Quine] p. 35. This is a generalization to classes of cvjust 2755. The proof does not rely on cvjust 2755, so cvjust 2755 could be proved as a special instance of it. Note however that abid1 2897 necessarily relies on df-clel 2836, whereas cvjust 2755 does not. This theorem requires ax-ext 2733, df-clab 2740, df-cleq 2753, df-clel 2836, but to prove that any specific class term not containing class variables is a setvar or is equal to a class abstraction does not require these $a-statements. This last fact is a metatheorem, consequence of the fact that the only $a-statements with typecode class are cv 1567, cab 2739, and statements corresponding to defined class constructors. Note on the simultaneous presence in set.mm of this abid1 2897 and its commuted form abid2 2898: It is rare that two forms so closely related both appear in set.mm. Indeed, such equalities are generally used in later proofs as parts of transitive inferences, and with the many variants of eqtri 2784 (search for *eqtr*), it would be rare that either one would shorten a proof compared to the other. There is typically a choice between what we call a "definitional form", where the shorter expression is on the LHS (left-hand side), and a "computational form", where the shorter expression is on the RHS (right-hand side). An example is df-2 12302 versus 1p1e2 12363. We do not need 1p1e2 12363, but because it occurs "naturally" in computations, it can be useful to have it directly, together with a uniform set of 1-digit operations like 1p2e3 12382, etc. In most cases, we do not need both a definitional and a computational forms. A definitional form would favor consistency with genuine definitions, while a computational form is often more natural. The situation is similar with biconditionals in propositional calculus: see for instance pm4.24 573 and anidm 574, while other biconditionals generally appear in a single form (either definitional, but more often computational). In the present case, the equality is important enough that both abid1 2897 and abid2 2898 are in set.mm. (Contributed by NM, 26-Dec-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 10-Nov-2020.)

Theorem	eqabb 2900*	Equality of a class variable and a class abstraction (also called a class builder). Theorem 5.1 of [Quine] p. 34. This theorem shows the relationship between expressions with class abstractions and expressions with class variables. Note that abbib 2830 and its relatives are among those useful for converting theorems with class variables to equivalent theorems with wff variables, by first substituting a class abstraction for each class variable. Class variables can always be eliminated from a theorem to result in an equivalent theorem with wff variables, and vice-versa. The idea is roughly as follows. To convert a theorem with a wff variable 𝜑 (that has a free variable 𝑥) to a theorem with a class variable 𝐴, we substitute 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 for 𝜑 throughout and simplify, where 𝐴 is a new class variable not already in the wff. An example is the conversion of sepgi 5259 to inex1 5285 (look at the instance of sepgi 5259 that occurs in the proof of inex1 5285). Conversely, to convert a theorem with a class variable 𝐴 to one with 𝜑, we substitute {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} for 𝐴 throughout and simplify, where 𝑥 and 𝜑 are new setvar and wff variables not already in the wff. Examples include dfsymdif2 4213 and cp 9876; the latter derives a formula containing wff variables from substitution instances of the class variables in its equivalent formulation cplem2 9875. For more information on class variables, see Quine pp. 15-21 and/or Takeuti and Zaring pp. 10-13. Usage of eqabbw 2834 is preferred since it requires fewer axioms. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.)
