2.1.6  The universal class
Syntax	cvv 3440	Extend class notation to include the universal class symbol.
class V
Theorem	vjust 3441	Justification theorem for df-v 3442. (Contributed by Rodolfo Medina, 27-Apr-2010.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝑥} = {𝑦 ∣ 𝑦 = 𝑦}
Definition	df-v 3442	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 5260 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 3454 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 3454. See dfv2 3443 for an alternate definition. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.)
⊢ V = {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝑥}
Theorem	dfv2 3443	Alternate definition of the universal class (see df-v 3442). (Contributed by BJ, 30-Nov-2019.)
⊢ V = {𝑥 ∣ ⊤}
Theorem	vex 3444	All setvar variables are sets (see isset 3454). Theorem 6.8 of [Quine] p. 43. A shorter proof is possible from eleq2i 2828 but it uses more axioms. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.) Remove use of ax-12 2184. (Revised by SN, 28-Aug-2023.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 4-Sep-2024.)
⊢ 𝑥 ∈ V

⊢ (𝑥 ∈ V → 𝜑)    ⇒   ⊢ 𝜑
Theorem	elvd 3446	If a proposition is implied by 𝑥 ∈ V (which is true, see vex 3444) and another antecedent, then it is implied by that other antecedent. Deduction associated with elv 3445. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 23-Oct-2018.)

Theorem	el2v 3447	If a proposition is implied by 𝑥 ∈ V and 𝑦 ∈ V (which is true, see vex 3444), then it is true. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 13-Oct-2018.)

Theorem	el3v 3448	If a proposition is implied by 𝑥 ∈ V, 𝑦 ∈ V and 𝑧 ∈ V (which is true, see vex 3444), then it is true. Inference forms (with ⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V, ⊢ 𝐵 ∈ V and ⊢ 𝐶 ∈ V hypotheses) of the general theorems (proving ⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝑊 ∧ 𝐶 ∈ 𝑋) → assertions) may be superfluous. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 13-Oct-2018.)
⊢ ((𝑥 ∈ V ∧ 𝑦 ∈ V ∧ 𝑧 ∈ V) → 𝜑)    ⇒   ⊢ 𝜑
Theorem	el3v3 3449	If a proposition is implied by 𝑧 ∈ V (which is true, see vex 3444) and two other antecedents, then it is implied by these other antecedents. (Contributed by Peter Mazsa, 16-Oct-2020.)

⊢ ({𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = V ↔ ∀𝑥𝜑)
Theorem	abvALT 3453	Alternate proof of abv 3452, shorter but using more axioms. (Contributed by BJ, 19-Mar-2021.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ({𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = V ↔ ∀𝑥𝜑)
Theorem	isset 3454*	Two ways to express that "𝐴 is a set": A class 𝐴 is a member of the universal class V (see df-v 3442) 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 7686. 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 7685 compared with uniex 7686). That this is more general is seen either by substitution (when the variable 𝑉 has no other occurrences), or by elex 3461. (Contributed by NM, 26-May-1993.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ V ↔ ∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴)
Theorem	cbvexeqsetf 3455*	The expression ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝐴 means "𝐴 is a set" even if 𝐴 contains 𝑥 as a bound variable. This lemma helps minimizing axiom or df-clab 2715 usage in some cases. Extracted from the proof of issetft 3456. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 30-Jul-2025.)
