2.1.2.3  Class membership
Definition	df-clel 2808*	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 2808 an axiom. See also comments under df-clab 2708, df-cleq 2722, and eqabb 2871. Alternate characterizations of 𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 when either 𝐴 or 𝐵 is a set are given by clel2g 3646, clel3g 3649, and clel4g 3651. 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 2708, df-cleq 2722, and df-clel 2808 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 2808. (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	elex2 2810*	If a class contains another class, then it contains some set. (Contributed by Alan Sare, 25-Sep-2011.) Avoid ax-9 2114, ax-ext 2701, df-clab 2708. (Revised by Wolf Lammen, 30-Nov-2024.)

Theorem	eleq1w 2814	Weaker version of eleq1 2819 (but more general than elequ1 2111) not depending on ax-ext 2701 nor df-cleq 2722. Note that this provides a proof of ax-8 2106 from Tarski's FOL and dfclel 2809 (simply consider an instance where 𝐴 is replaced by a setvar and deduce the forward implication by biimpd 228), which shows that dfclel 2809 is too powerful to be used as a definition instead of df-clel 2808.

⊢ (𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ 𝜑)    ⇒   ⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑}
Theorem	abid1 2868*	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 2724. The proof does not rely on cvjust 2724, so cvjust 2724 could be proved as a special instance of it. Note however that abid1 2868 necessarily relies on df-clel 2808, whereas cvjust 2724 does not. This theorem requires ax-ext 2701, df-clab 2708, df-cleq 2722, df-clel 2808, 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 1538, cab 2707, and statements corresponding to defined class constructors. Note on the simultaneous presence in set.mm of this abid1 2868 and its commuted form abid2 2869: 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 2758 (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 12279 versus 1p1e2 12341. We do not need 1p1e2 12341, 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 12359, 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 pm4.24 562 and anidm 563, 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 2868 and abid2 2869 are in set.mm. (Contributed by NM, 26-Dec-1993.) (Revised by BJ, 10-Nov-2020.)

Theorem	abid2 2869*	A simplification of class abstraction. Commuted form of abid1 2868. See comments there. (Contributed by NM, 26-Dec-1993.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴} = 𝐴
Theorem	eqab 2870*	One direction of eqabb 2871 is provable from fewer axioms. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 13-Feb-2025.)
⊢ (∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ↔ 𝜑) → 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑})
Theorem	eqabb 2871*	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 2802 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 zfauscl 5300 to inex1 5316 (look at the instance of zfauscl 5300 that occurs in the proof of inex1 5316). 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 4249 and cp 9888; the latter derives a formula containing wff variables from substitution instances of the class variables in its equivalent formulation cplem2 9887. For more information on class variables, see Quine pp. 15-21 and/or Takeuti and Zaring pp. 10-13. Usage of eqabbw 2807 is preferred since it requires fewer axioms. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.)

Definition	df-nfc 2883*	Define the not-free predicate for classes. This is read "𝑥 is not free in 𝐴". Not-free means that the value of 𝑥 cannot affect the value of 𝐴, e.g., any occurrence of 𝑥 in 𝐴 is effectively bound by a "for all" or something that expands to one (such as "there exists"). It is defined in terms of the not-free predicate df-nf 1784 for wffs; see that definition for more information. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 11-Aug-2016.)
