Type	Label	Description
Statement
20.15.4.13  Distinct var metavariables The closed formula ∀𝑥∀𝑦𝑥 = 𝑦 approximately means that the var metavariables 𝑥 and 𝑦 represent the same variable vi. In a domain with at most one object, however, this formula is always true, hence the "approximately" in the previous sentence.
Theorem	bj-hbaeb2 35001	Biconditional version of a form of hbae 2431 with commuted quantifiers, not requiring ax-11 2154. (Contributed by BJ, 12-Dec-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-dvv 35004	A special instance of bj-hbaeb2 35001. A lemma for distinct var metavariables. Note that the right-hand side is a closed formula (a sentence). (Contributed by BJ, 6-Oct-2018.)
⊢ (∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 ↔ ∀𝑥∀𝑦 𝑥 = 𝑦)
20.15.4.14  Around ~ equsal As a rule of thumb, if a theorem of the form ⊢ (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓) ⇒ ⊢ (𝜒 ↔ 𝜃) is in the database, and the "more precise" theorems ⊢ (𝜑 → 𝜓) ⇒ ⊢ (𝜒 → 𝜃) and ⊢ (𝜓 → 𝜑) ⇒ ⊢ (𝜃 → 𝜒) also hold (see bj-bisym 34772), then they should be added to the database. The present case is similar. Similar additions can be done regarding equsex 2418 (and equsalh 2420 and equsexh 2421). Even if only one of these two theorems holds, it should be added to the database.
Theorem	bj-equsal1t 35005	Duplication of wl-equsal1t 35700, with shorter proof. If one imposes a disjoint variable condition on x,y , then one can use alequexv 2004 and reduce axiom dependencies, and similarly for the following theorems. Note: wl-equsalcom 35701 is also interesting. (Contributed by BJ, 6-Oct-2018.)

Theorem	bj-dvelimdv 35035*	Deduction form of dvelim 2451 with disjoint variable conditions. Uncurried (imported) form of bj-dvelimdv1 35036. Typically, 𝑧 is a fresh variable used for the implicit substitution hypothesis that results in 𝜒 (namely, 𝜓 can be thought as 𝜓(𝑥, 𝑦) and 𝜒 as 𝜓(𝑥, 𝑧)). So the theorem says that if x is effectively free in 𝜓(𝑥, 𝑧), then if x and y are not the same variable, then 𝑥 is also effectively free in 𝜓(𝑥, 𝑦), in a context 𝜑. One can weaken the implicit substitution hypothesis by adding the antecedent 𝜑 but this typically does not make the theorem much more useful. Similarly, one could use nonfreeness hypotheses instead of disjoint variable conditions but since this result is typically used when 𝑧 is a dummy variable, this would not be of much benefit. One could also remove DV (𝑥, 𝑧) since in the proof nfv 1917 can be replaced with nfal 2317 followed by nfn 1860. Remark: nfald 2322 uses ax-11 2154; it might be possible to inline and use ax11w 2126 instead, but there is still a use via 19.12 2321 anyway. (Contributed by BJ, 20-Oct-2021.)

20.15.5  Set theory
20.15.5.1  Eliminability of class terms In this section, we give a sketch of the proof of the Eliminability Theorem for class terms in an extensional set theory where quantification occurs only over set variables. Eliminability of class variables using the $a-statements ax-ext 2709, df-clab 2716, df-cleq 2730, df-clel 2816 is an easy result, proved for instance in Appendix X of Azriel Levy, Basic Set Theory, Dover Publications, 2002. Note that viewed from the set.mm axiomatization, it is a metatheorem not formalizable in set.mm. It states: every formula in the language of FOL + ∈ + class terms, but without class variables, is provably equivalent (over {FOL, ax-ext 2709, df-clab 2716, df-cleq 2730, df-clel 2816 }) to a formula in the language of FOL + ∈ (that is, without class terms). The proof goes by induction on the complexity of the formula (see op. cit. for details). The base case is that of atomic formulas. The atomic formulas containing class terms are of one of the six following forms: for equality, 𝑥 = {𝑦 ∣ 𝜑}, {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = 𝑦, {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑦 ∣ 𝜓}, and for membership, 𝑦 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑}, {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} ∈ 𝑦, {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} ∈ {𝑦 ∣ 𝜓}. These cases are dealt with by eliminable-veqab 35050, eliminable-abeqv 35051, eliminable-abeqab 35052, eliminable-velab 35049, eliminable-abelv 35053, eliminable-abelab 35054 respectively, which are all proved from {FOL, ax-ext 2709, df-clab 2716, df-cleq 2730, df-clel 2816 }. (Details on the proof of the above six theorems. To understand how they were systematically proved, look at the theorems "eliminablei" below, which are special instances of df-clab 2716, dfcleq 2731 (proved from {FOL, ax-ext 2709, df-cleq 2730 }), and dfclel 2817 (proved from {FOL, df-clel 2816 }). Indeed, denote by (i) the formula proved by "eliminablei". One sees that the RHS of (1) has no class terms, the RHS's of (2x) have only class terms of the form dealt with by (1), and the RHS's of (3x) have only class terms of the forms dealt with by (1) and (2a). Note that in order to prove eliminable2a 35044, eliminable2b 35045 and eliminable3a 35047, we need to substitute a class variable for a setvar variable. This is possible because setvars are class terms: this is the content of the syntactic theorem cv 1538, which is used in these proofs (this does not appear in the html pages but it is in the set.mm file and you can check it using the Metamath program).) The induction step relies on the fact that any formula is a FOL-combination of atomic formulas, so if one found equivalents for all atomic formulas constituting the formula, then the same FOL-combination of these equivalents will be equivalent to the original formula. Note that one has a slightly more precise result: if the original formula has only class terms appearing in atomic formulas of the form 𝑦 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑}, then df-clab 2716 is sufficient (over FOL) to eliminate class terms, and if the original formula has only class terms appearing in atomic formulas of the form 𝑦 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} and equalities, then df-clab 2716, ax-ext 2709 and df-cleq 2730 are sufficient (over FOL) to eliminate class terms. To prove that { df-clab 2716, df-cleq 2730, df-clel 2816 } provides a definitional extension of {FOL, ax-ext 2709 }, one needs to prove both the above Eliminability Theorem, which compares the expressive powers of the languages with and without class terms, and the Conservativity Theorem, which compares the deductive powers when one adds { df-clab 2716, df-cleq 2730, df-clel 2816 }. It states that a formula without class terms is provable in one axiom system if and only if it is provable in the other, and that this remains true when one adds further definitions to {FOL, ax-ext 2709 }. It is also proved in op. cit. The proof is more difficult, since one has to construct for each proof of a statement without class terms, an associated proof not using { df-clab 2716, df-cleq 2730, df-clel 2816 }. It involves a careful case study on the structure of the proof tree.

20.15.5.2  Classes without the axiom of extensionality A few results about classes can be proved without using ax-ext 2709. One could move all theorems from cab 2715 to df-clel 2816 (except for dfcleq 2731 and cvjust 2732) in a subsection "Classes" before the subsection on the axiom of extensionality, together with the theorems below. In that subsection, the last statement should be df-cleq 2730. Note that without ax-ext 2709, the $a-statements df-clab 2716, df-cleq 2730, and df-clel 2816 are no longer eliminable (see previous section) (but PROBABLY df-clab 2716 is still conservative , while df-cleq 2730 and df-clel 2816 are not). This is not a reason not to study what is provable with them but without ax-ext 2709, in order to gauge their strengths more precisely. Before that subsection, a subsection "The membership predicate" could group the statements with ∈ that are currently in the FOL part (including wcel 2106, wel 2107, ax-8 2108, ax-9 2116). Remark: the weakening of eleq1 2826 / eleq2 2827 to eleq1w 2821 / eleq2w 2822 can also be done with eleq1i 2829, eqeltri 2835, eqeltrri 2836, eleq1a 2834, eleq1d 2823, eqeltrd 2839, eqeltrrd 2840, eqneltrd 2858, eqneltrrd 2859, nelneq 2863. Remark: possibility to remove dependency on ax-10 2137, ax-11 2154, ax-13 2372 from nfcri 2894 and theorems using it if one adds a disjoint variable condition (that theorem is typically used with dummy variables, so the disjoint variable condition addition is not very restrictive), and then shorten nfnfc 2919.

Theorem	bj-denotes 35056*	This would be the justification theorem for the definition of the unary predicate "E!" by ⊢ ( E!

A shorter proof using bitri 274 (to add an intermediate proposition ∃𝑧𝑧 = 𝐴 with a fresh 𝑧), cbvexvw 2040, and eqeq1 2742, requires the core axioms and { ax-9 2116, ax-ext 2709, df-cleq 2730 } whereas this proof requires the core axioms and { ax-8 2108, df-clab 2716, df-clel 2816 }. Theorem bj-issetwt 35059 proves that "existing" is equivalent to being a member of a class abstraction. It also requires, with the present proof, { ax-8 2108, df-clab 2716, df-clel 2816 } (whereas with the shorter proof from cbvexvw 2040 and eqeq1 2742 it would require { ax-8 2108, ax-9 2116, ax-ext 2709, df-clab 2716, df-cleq 2730, df-clel 2816 }). That every class is equal to a class abstraction is proved by abid1 2881, which requires { ax-8 2108, ax-9 2116, ax-ext 2709, df-clab 2716, df-cleq 2730, df-clel 2816 }. Note that there is no disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦 but the theorem does not depend on ax-13 2372. Actually, the proof depends only on the logical axioms ax-1 6 through ax-7 2011 and sp 2176. The symbol "E!" was chosen to be reminiscent of the analogous predicate in (inclusive or non-inclusive) free logic, which deals with the possibility of nonexistent objects. This analogy should not be taken too far, since here there are no equality axioms for classes: these are derived from ax-ext 2709 and df-cleq 2730 (e.g., eqid 2738 and eqeq1 2742). In particular, one cannot even prove ⊢ ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝐴 ⇒ ⊢ 𝐴 = 𝐴 without ax-ext 2709 and df-cleq 2730. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

20.15.5.3  Characterization among sets versus among classes
Theorem	elelb 35082	Equivalence between two common ways to characterize elements of a class 𝐵: the LHS says that sets are elements of 𝐵 if and only if they satisfy 𝜑 while the RHS says that classes are elements of 𝐵 if and only if they are sets and satisfy 𝜑. Therefore, the LHS is a characterization among sets while the RHS is a characterization among classes. Note that the LHS is often formulated using a class variable instead of the universe V while this is not possible for the RHS (apart from using 𝐵 itself, which would not be very useful).
