21.19.5.2  Classes without the axiom of extensionality A few results about classes can be proved without using ax-ext 2703. One could move all theorems from cab 2709 to df-clel 2806 (except for dfcleq 2724 and cvjust 2725) 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 2723. Note that without ax-ext 2703, the $a-statements df-clab 2710, df-cleq 2723, and df-clel 2806 are no longer eliminable (see previous section) (but PROBABLY df-clab 2710 is still conservative , while df-cleq 2723 and df-clel 2806 are not). This is not a reason not to study what is provable with them but without ax-ext 2703, 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 2111, wel 2112, ax-8 2113, ax-9 2121). Remark: the weakening of eleq1 2819 / eleq2 2820 to eleq1w 2814 / eleq2w 2815 can also be done with eleq1i 2822, eqeltri 2827, eqeltrri 2828, eleq1a 2826, eleq1d 2816, eqeltrd 2831, eqeltrrd 2832, eqneltrd 2851, eqneltrrd 2852, nelneq 2855. Remark: possibility to remove dependency on ax-10 2144, ax-11 2160, ax-13 2372 from nfcri 2886 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 2907.
Theorem	bj-denoteslem 36904*	Duplicate of issettru 2809 and bj-issettruALTV 36906. Lemma for bj-denotesALTV 36905. (Contributed by BJ, 24-Apr-2024.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴 ↔ 𝐴 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ ⊤})
Theorem	bj-denotesALTV 36905*	Moved to main as iseqsetv-clel 2810 and kept for the comments. This would be the justification theorem for the definition of the unary predicate "E!" by ⊢ ( E! 𝐴 ↔ ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝐴) which could be interpreted as "𝐴 exists" (as a set) or "𝐴 denotes" (in the sense of free logic). A shorter proof using bitri 275 (to add an intermediate proposition ∃𝑧𝑧 = 𝐴 with a fresh 𝑧), cbvexvw 2038, and eqeq1 2735, requires the core axioms and { ax-9 2121, ax-ext 2703, df-cleq 2723 } whereas this proof requires the core axioms and { ax-8 2113, df-clab 2710, df-clel 2806 }. Theorem bj-issetwt 36908 proves that "existing" is equivalent to being a member of a class abstraction. It also requires, with the present proof, { ax-8 2113, df-clab 2710, df-clel 2806 } (whereas with the shorter proof from cbvexvw 2038 and eqeq1 2735 it would require { ax-8 2113, ax-9 2121, ax-ext 2703, df-clab 2710, df-cleq 2723, df-clel 2806 }). That every class is equal to a class abstraction is proved by abid1 2867, which requires { ax-8 2113, ax-9 2121, ax-ext 2703, df-clab 2710, df-cleq 2723, df-clel 2806 }. 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 2009 and sp 2186. 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 2703 and df-cleq 2723 (e.g., eqid 2731 and eqeq1 2735). In particular, one cannot even prove ⊢ ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝐴 ⇒ ⊢ 𝐴 = 𝐴 without ax-ext 2703 and df-cleq 2723. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴 ↔ ∃𝑦 𝑦 = 𝐴)
Theorem	bj-issettruALTV 36906*	Moved to main as issettru 2809 and kept for the comments. Weak version of isset 3450 without ax-ext 2703. (Contributed by BJ, 24-Apr-2024.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴 ↔ 𝐴 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ ⊤})
Theorem	bj-elabtru 36907	This is as close as we can get to proving extensionality for "the" "universal" class without ax-ext 2703. (Contributed by BJ, 24-Apr-2024.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ ⊤} ↔ 𝐴 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ ⊤})
Theorem	bj-issetwt 36908*	Closed form of bj-issetw 36909. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∀𝑥𝜑 → (𝐴 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} ↔ ∃𝑦 𝑦 = 𝐴))
Theorem	bj-issetw 36909*	The closest one can get to isset 3450 without using ax-ext 2703. See also vexw 2715. Note that the only disjoint variable condition is between 𝑦 and 𝐴. From there, one can prove isset 3450 using eleq2i 2823 (which requires ax-ext 2703 and df-cleq 2723). (Contributed by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ 𝜑    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐴 ∈ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} ↔ ∃𝑦 𝑦 = 𝐴)
Theorem	bj-issetiv 36910*	Version of bj-isseti 36911 with a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑉. The hypothesis uses 𝑉 instead of V for extra generality. This is indeed more general than isseti 3454 as long as elex 3457 is not available (and the non-dependence of bj-issetiv 36910 on special properties of the universal class V is obvious). Prefer its use over bj-isseti 36911 when sufficient (in particular when 𝑉 is substituted for V). (Contributed by BJ, 14-Sep-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ 𝑉    ⇒   ⊢ ∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴
Theorem	bj-isseti 36911*	Version of isseti 3454 with a class variable 𝑉 in the hypothesis instead of V for extra generality. This is indeed more general than isseti 3454 as long as elex 3457 is not available (and the non-dependence of bj-isseti 36911 on special properties of the universal class V is obvious). Use bj-issetiv 36910 instead when sufficient (in particular when 𝑉 is substituted for V). (Contributed by BJ, 13-Jun-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ 𝑉    ⇒   ⊢ ∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴
Theorem	bj-ralvw 36912	A weak version of ralv 3463 not using ax-ext 2703 (nor df-cleq 2723, df-clel 2806, df-v 3438), and only core FOL axioms. See also bj-rexvw 36913. The analogues for reuv 3465 and rmov 3466 are not proved. (Contributed by BJ, 16-Jun-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ 𝜓    ⇒   ⊢ (∀𝑥 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ 𝜓}𝜑 ↔ ∀𝑥𝜑)
Theorem	bj-rexvw 36913	A weak version of rexv 3464 not using ax-ext 2703 (nor df-cleq 2723, df-clel 2806, df-v 3438), and only core FOL axioms. See also bj-ralvw 36912. (Contributed by BJ, 16-Jun-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ 𝜓    ⇒   ⊢ (∃𝑥 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ 𝜓}𝜑 ↔ ∃𝑥𝜑)
Theorem	bj-rababw 36914	A weak version of rabab 3467 not using df-clel 2806 nor df-v 3438 (but requiring ax-ext 2703) nor ax-12 2180. (Contributed by BJ, 16-Jun-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ 𝜓    ⇒   ⊢ {𝑥 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ 𝜓} ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑}
Theorem	bj-rexcom4bv 36915*	Version of rexcom4b 3468 and bj-rexcom4b 36916 with a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑉, hence removing dependency on df-sb 2068 and df-clab 2710 (so that it depends on df-clel 2806 and df-rex 3057 only on top of first-order logic). Prefer its use over bj-rexcom4b 36916 when sufficient (in particular when 𝑉 is substituted for V). Note the 𝑉 in the hypothesis instead of V. (Contributed by BJ, 14-Sep-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ 𝐵 ∈ 𝑉    ⇒   ⊢ (∃𝑥∃𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 (𝜑 ∧ 𝑥 = 𝐵) ↔ ∃𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 𝜑)
Theorem	bj-rexcom4b 36916*	Remove from rexcom4b 3468 dependency on ax-ext 2703 and ax-13 2372 (and on df-or 848, df-cleq 2723, df-nfc 2881, df-v 3438). The hypothesis uses 𝑉 instead of V (see bj-isseti 36911 for the motivation). Use bj-rexcom4bv 36915 instead when sufficient (in particular when 𝑉 is substituted for V). (Contributed by BJ, 16-Jun-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ 𝐵 ∈ 𝑉    ⇒   ⊢ (∃𝑥∃𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 (𝜑 ∧ 𝑥 = 𝐵) ↔ ∃𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 𝜑)

⊢ ((Ⅎ𝑥𝜓 ∧ ∀𝑥(𝜃 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓)) ∧ ∃𝑥𝜃) → (∀𝑥(𝜃 → 𝜑) ↔ 𝜓))
Theorem	bj-ceqsalt1 36918	The FOL content of ceqsalt 3470. Lemma for bj-ceqsalt 36919 and bj-ceqsaltv 36920. TODO: consider removing if it does not add anything to bj-ceqsalt0 36917. (Contributed by BJ, 26-Sep-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝜃 → ∃𝑥𝜒)    ⇒   ⊢ ((Ⅎ𝑥𝜓 ∧ ∀𝑥(𝜒 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓)) ∧ 𝜃) → (∀𝑥(𝜒 → 𝜑) ↔ 𝜓))
Theorem	bj-ceqsalt 36919*	Remove from ceqsalt 3470 dependency on ax-ext 2703 (and on df-cleq 2723 and df-v 3438). Note: this is not doable with ceqsralt 3471 (or ceqsralv 3477), which uses eleq1 2819, but the same dependence removal is possible for ceqsalg 3472, ceqsal 3474, ceqsalv 3476, cgsexg 3481, cgsex2g 3482, cgsex4g 3483, ceqsex 3485, ceqsexv 3487, ceqsex2 3490, ceqsex2v 3491, ceqsex3v 3492, ceqsex4v 3493, ceqsex6v 3494, ceqsex8v 3495, gencbvex 3496 (after changing 𝐴 = 𝑦 to 𝑦 = 𝐴), gencbvex2 3497, gencbval 3498, vtoclgft 3507 (it uses Ⅎ, whose justification nfcjust 2880 does not use ax-ext 2703) and several other vtocl* theorems (see for instance bj-vtoclg1f 36951). See also bj-ceqsaltv 36920. (Contributed by BJ, 16-Jun-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ((Ⅎ𝑥𝜓 ∧ ∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝐴 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓)) ∧ 𝐴 ∈ 𝑉) → (∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝐴 → 𝜑) ↔ 𝜓))
Theorem	bj-ceqsaltv 36920*	Version of bj-ceqsalt 36919 with a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑉, removing dependency on df-sb 2068 and df-clab 2710. Prefer its use over bj-ceqsalt 36919 when sufficient (in particular when 𝑉 is substituted for V). (Contributed by BJ, 16-Jun-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-ceqsalgv 36924*	Version of bj-ceqsalg 36922 with a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑉, removing dependency on df-sb 2068 and df-clab 2710. Prefer its use over bj-ceqsalg 36922 when sufficient (in particular when 𝑉 is substituted for V). (Contributed by BJ, 12-Oct-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

⊢ Ⅎ𝑥𝜓    &   ⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ (𝑥 = 𝐴 → (𝜑 ↔ 𝜓))    ⇒   ⊢ (∀𝑥(𝑥 = 𝐴 → 𝜑) ↔ 𝜓)
Theorem	bj-ceqsalv 36927*	Remove from ceqsalv 3476 dependency on ax-ext 2703 (and on df-cleq 2723, df-v 3438, df-clab 2710, df-sb 2068). (Contributed by BJ, 12-Oct-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-spcimdv 36928*	Remove from spcimdv 3548 dependency on ax-9 2121, ax-10 2144, ax-11 2160, ax-13 2372, ax-ext 2703, df-cleq 2723 (and df-nfc 2881, df-v 3438, df-or 848, df-tru 1544, df-nf 1785). For an even more economical version, see bj-spcimdvv 36929. (Contributed by BJ, 30-Nov-2020.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

For the version without this disjoint variable condition, see bj-spcimdv 36928. (Contributed by BJ, 3-Nov-2021.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

21.19.5.3  Characterization among sets versus among classes
Theorem	elelb 36930	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). (Contributed by BJ, 26-Feb-2023.)
⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ V → (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 ↔ 𝜑)) ↔ (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 ↔ (𝐴 ∈ V ∧ 𝜑)))
Theorem	bj-pwvrelb 36931	Characterization of the elements of the powerclass of the cartesian square of the universal class: they are exactly the sets which are binary relations. (Contributed by BJ, 16-Dec-2023.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝒫 (V × V) ↔ (𝐴 ∈ V ∧ Rel 𝐴))
21.19.5.4  The nonfreeness quantifier for classes In this section, we prove the symmetry of the nonfreeness quantifier for classes.
Theorem	bj-nfcsym 36932	The nonfreeness quantifier for classes defines a symmetric binary relation on var metavariables (irreflexivity is proved by nfnid 5313 with additional axioms; see also nfcv 2894). This could be proved from aecom 2427 and nfcvb 5314 but the latter requires a domain with at least two objects (hence uses extra axioms). (Contributed by BJ, 30-Sep-2018.) Proof modification is discouraged to avoid use of eqcomd 2737 instead of equcomd 2020; removing dependency on ax-ext 2703 is possible: prove weak versions (i.e. replace classes with setvars) of drnfc1 2914, eleq2d 2817 (using elequ2 2126), nfcvf 2921, dvelimc 2920, dvelimdc 2919, nfcvf2 2922. (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-sbeqALT 36933*	Substitution in an equality (use the more general version bj-sbeq 36934 instead, without disjoint variable condition). (Contributed by BJ, 6-Oct-2018.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝐴 = 𝐵 ↔ ⦋𝑦 / 𝑥⦌𝐴 = ⦋𝑦 / 𝑥⦌𝐵)

Theorem	bj-sbceqgALT 36935	Distribute proper substitution through an equality relation. Alternate proof of sbceqg 4362. (Contributed by BJ, 6-Oct-2018.)

Theorem	bj-sbel1 36938*	Version of sbcel1g 4366 when substituting a set. (Note: one could have a corresponding version of sbcel12 4361 when substituting a set, but the point here is that the antecedent of sbcel1g 4366 is not needed when substituting a set.) (Contributed by BJ, 6-Oct-2018.)

Theorem	bj-exlimmpi 36945	Lemma for bj-vtoclg1f1 36950 (an instance of this lemma is a version of bj-vtoclg1f1 36950 where 𝑥 and 𝑦 are identified). (Contributed by BJ, 30-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Note the weakened "major" hypothesis and the disjoint variable condition between 𝑥 and 𝐴 (needed since the nonfreeness quantifier for classes is not available without ax-ext 2703; as a byproduct, this dispenses with ax-11 2160 and ax-13 2372).

21.19.5.14  "Singletonization" and tagging This subsection introduces the "singletonization" and the "tagging" of a class. The singletonization of a class is the class of singletons of elements of that class. It is useful since all nonsingletons are disjoint from it, so one can easily adjoin to it disjoint elements, which is what the tagging does: it adjoins the empty set. This can be used for instance to define the one-point compactification of a topological space. It will be used in the next section to define tuples which work for proper classes.
