Theorem	bj-dvelimdv 37211*	Deduction form of dvelim 2459 with disjoint variable conditions. Uncurried (imported) form of bj-dvelimdv1 37212. 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 1921 can be replaced with nfal 2332 followed by nfn 1864. Remark: nfald 2337 uses ax-11 2168; it might be possible to inline and use ax11w 2141 instead, but there is still a use via 19.12 2336 anyway. (Contributed by BJ, 20-Oct-2021.)

21.19.5  Set theory
21.19.5.1  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 2712, df-clab 2719, df-cleq 2732, df-clel 2815 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 2712, df-clab 2719, df-cleq 2732, df-clel 2815 }) 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 37226, eliminable-abeqv 37227, eliminable-abeqab 37228, eliminable-velab 37225, eliminable-abelv 37229, eliminable-abelab 37230 respectively, which are all proved from {FOL, ax-ext 2712, df-clab 2719, df-cleq 2732, df-clel 2815 }. (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 2719, dfcleq 2733 (proved from {FOL, ax-ext 2712, df-cleq 2732 }), and dfclel 2816 (proved from {FOL, df-clel 2815 }). 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 37220, eliminable2b 37221 and eliminable3a 37223, 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 1546, 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 2719 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 2719, ax-ext 2712 and df-cleq 2732 are sufficient (over FOL) to eliminate class terms. To prove that { df-clab 2719, df-cleq 2732, df-clel 2815 } provides a definitional extension of {FOL, ax-ext 2712 }, 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 2719, df-cleq 2732, df-clel 2815 }. 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 2712 }. 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 2719, df-cleq 2732, df-clel 2815 }. It involves a careful case study on the structure of the proof tree.

21.19.5.2  Classes without the axiom of extensionality A few results about classes can be proved without using ax-ext 2712. One could move all theorems from cab 2718 to df-clel 2815 (except for dfcleq 2733 and cvjust 2734) 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 2732. Note that without ax-ext 2712, the $a-statements df-clab 2719, df-cleq 2732, and df-clel 2815 are no longer eliminable (see previous section) (but PROBABLY df-clab 2719 is still conservative , while df-cleq 2732 and df-clel 2815 are not). This is not a reason not to study what is provable with them but without ax-ext 2712, 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 2119, wel 2120, ax-8 2121, ax-9 2129). Remark: the weakening of eleq1 2828 / eleq2 2829 to eleq1w 2823 / eleq2w 2824 can also be done with eleq1i 2831, eqeltri 2836, eqeltrri 2837, eleq1a 2835, eleq1d 2825, eqeltrd 2840, eqeltrrd 2841, eqneltrd 2860, eqneltrrd 2861, nelneq 2864. Remark: possibility to remove dependency on ax-10 2152, ax-11 2168, ax-13 2380 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 2914.
Theorem	bj-denoteslem 37231*	Duplicate of issettru 2818 and bj-issettruALTV 37233. Lemma for bj-denotesALTV 37232. (Contributed by BJ, 24-Apr-2024.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴 ↔ 𝐴 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ ⊤})
Theorem	bj-denotesALTV 37232*	Moved to main as iseqsetv-clel 2819 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 276 (to add an intermediate proposition ∃𝑧𝑧 = 𝐴 with a fresh 𝑧), cbvexvw 2044, and eqeq1 2744, requires the core axioms and { ax-9 2129, ax-ext 2712, df-cleq 2732 } whereas this proof requires the core axioms and { ax-8 2121, df-clab 2719, df-clel 2815 }. Theorem bj-issetwt 37235 proves that "existing" is equivalent to being a member of a class abstraction. It also requires, with the present proof, { ax-8 2121, df-clab 2719, df-clel 2815 } (whereas with the shorter proof from cbvexvw 2044 and eqeq1 2744 it would require { ax-8 2121, ax-9 2129, ax-ext 2712, df-clab 2719, df-cleq 2732, df-clel 2815 }). That every class is equal to a class abstraction is proved by abid1 2876, which requires { ax-8 2121, ax-9 2129, ax-ext 2712, df-clab 2719, df-cleq 2732, df-clel 2815 }. Note that there is no disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦 but the theorem does not depend on ax-13 2380. Actually, the proof depends only on the logical axioms ax-1 6 through ax-7 2015 and sp 2195. 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 2712 and df-cleq 2732 (e.g., eqid 2740 and eqeq1 2744). In particular, one cannot even prove ⊢ ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝐴 ⇒ ⊢ 𝐴 = 𝐴 without ax-ext 2712 and df-cleq 2732. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

Theorem	bj-issetw 37236*	The closest one can get to isset 3446 without using ax-ext 2712. See also vexw 2724. Note that the only disjoint variable condition is between 𝑦 and 𝐴. From there, one can prove isset 3446 using eleq2i 2832 (which requires ax-ext 2712 and df-cleq 2732). (Contributed by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

21.19.5.3  Characterization among sets versus among classes
Theorem	elelb 37257	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.)

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 37259	The nonfreeness quantifier for classes defines a symmetric binary relation on var metavariables (irreflexivity is proved by nfnid 5311 with additional axioms; see also nfcv 2902). This could be proved from aecom 2435 and nfcvb 5312 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 2746 instead of equcomd 2026; removing dependency on ax-ext 2712 is possible: prove weak versions (i.e. replace classes with setvars) of drnfc1 2921, eleq2d 2826 (using elequ2 2134), nfcvf 2928, dvelimc 2927, dvelimdc 2926, nfcvf2 2929.
