2.1.5.3  Restricted class abstraction
Syntax	crab 3415	Extend class notation to include the restricted class abstraction (class builder).
class {𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∣ 𝜑}
Definition	df-rab 3416	Define a restricted class abstraction (class builder): {𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∣ 𝜑} is the class of all sets 𝑥 in 𝐴 such that 𝜑(𝑥) is true. Definition of [TakeutiZaring] p. 20. For the interpretation given in the previous paragraph to be correct, we need to assume Ⅎ𝑥𝐴, which is the case as soon as 𝑥 and 𝐴 are disjoint, which is generally the case. If 𝐴 were to depend on 𝑥, then the interpretation would be less obvious (think of the two extreme cases 𝐴 = {𝑥} and 𝐴 = 𝑥, for instance). See also df-ral 3052. (Contributed by NM, 22-Nov-1994.)

2.1.6  The universal class
Syntax	cvv 3459	Extend class notation to include the universal class symbol.
class V
Theorem	vjust 3460	Justification theorem for df-v 3461. (Contributed by Rodolfo Medina, 27-Apr-2010.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝑥} = {𝑦 ∣ 𝑦 = 𝑦}
Definition	df-v 3461	Define the universal class. Definition 5.20 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 21. Also Definition 2.9 of [Quine] p. 19. The class V can be described as the "class of all sets"; vprc 5285 proves that V is not itself a set in ZF. We will frequently use the expression 𝐴 ∈ V as a short way to say "𝐴 is a set", and isset 3473 proves that this expression has the same meaning as ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝐴. In well-founded set theories without urelements, like ZF, the class V is equal to the von Neumann universe. However, the letter "V" does not stand for "von Neumann". The letter "V" was used earlier by Peano in 1889 for the universe of sets, where the letter V is derived from the Latin word "Verum", referring to the true truth constant 𝑇. Peano's notation V was adopted by Whitehead and Russell in Principia Mathematica for the class of all sets in 1910. The class constant V is the first class constant introduced in this database. As a constant, as opposed to a variable, it cannot be substituted with anything, and in particular it is not part of any disjoint variable condition. For a general discussion of the theory of classes, see mmset.html#class 3473. See dfv2 3462 for an alternate definition. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.)
⊢ V = {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝑥}
Theorem	dfv2 3462	Alternate definition of the universal class (see df-v 3461). (Contributed by BJ, 30-Nov-2019.)
⊢ V = {𝑥 ∣ ⊤}
Theorem	vex 3463	All setvar variables are sets (see isset 3473). Theorem 6.8 of [Quine] p. 43. A shorter proof is possible from eleq2i 2826 but it uses more axioms. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.) Remove use of ax-12 2177. (Revised by SN, 28-Aug-2023.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 4-Sep-2024.)

Theorem	isset 3473*	Two ways to express that "𝐴 is a set": A class 𝐴 is a member of the universal class V (see df-v 3461) if and only if the class 𝐴 exists (i.e., there exists some set 𝑥 equal to class 𝐴). Theorem 6.9 of [Quine] p. 43. A class 𝐴 which is not a set is called a proper class. Conventions: We will often use the expression "𝐴 ∈ V " to mean "𝐴 is a set", for example in uniex 7733. To make some theorems more readily applicable, we will also use the more general expression 𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 instead of 𝐴 ∈ V to mean "𝐴 is a set", typically in an antecedent, or in a hypothesis for theorems in deduction form (see for instance uniexg 7732 compared with uniex 7733). That this is more general is seen either by substitution (when the variable 𝑉 has no other occurrences), or by elex 3480. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.)
