Theorem	bj-equsalhv 37303*	Version of equsalh 2454 with a disjoint variable condition, which does not require ax-13 2406. Remark: this is the same as equsalhw 2328. TODO: delete after moving the following paragraph somewhere. Remarks: equsexvw 2028 has been moved to Main; Theorem ax13lem2 2410 has a DV version which is a simple consequence of ax5e 1935; Theorems nfeqf2 2411, dveeq2 2412, nfeqf1 2413, dveeq1 2414, nfeqf 2415, axc9 2416, ax13 2409, have dv versions which are simple consequences of ax-5 1933.

Theorem	bj-aecomsv 37305*	Version of aecoms 2462 with a disjoint variable condition, provable from Tarski's FOL. The corresponding version of naecoms 2463 should not be very useful since ¬ ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦, DV (𝑥, 𝑦) is true when the universe has at least two objects (see dtru 5409). (Contributed by BJ, 31-May-2019.)

Theorem	bj-axc11v 37306*	Version of axc11 2464 with a disjoint variable condition, which does not require ax-13 2406 nor ax-10 2178. Remark: the following theorems (hbae 2465, nfae 2467, hbnae 2466, nfnae 2468, hbnaes 2469) would need to be totally unbundled to be proved without ax-13 2406, hence would be simple consequences of ax-5 1933 or nfv 1937.

Theorem	bj-nfsab1 37313*	Remove dependency on ax-13 2406 from nfsab1 2751. UPDATE / TODO: nfsab1 2751 does not use ax-13 2406 either anymore; bj-nfsab1 37313 is shorter than nfsab1 2751 but uses ax-12 2215. (Contributed by BJ, 23-Jun-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∧ ¬ 𝜑)
21.19.4.15  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 37315	Biconditional version of a form of hbae 2465 with commuted quantifiers, not requiring ax-11 2194. (Contributed by BJ, 12-Dec-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

⊢ (∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 ↔ ∀𝑥∀𝑦 𝑥 = 𝑦)
21.19.4.16  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 37045), then they should be added to the database. The present case is similar. Similar additions can be done regarding equsex 2452 (and equsalh 2454 and equsexh 2455). Even if only one of these two theorems holds, it should be added to the database.
Theorem	bj-equsal1t 37319	Duplication of wl-equsal1t 38057, with shorter proof. If one imposes a disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦, then one can use alequexv 2024 and reduce axiom dependencies, and similarly for the following theorems. Note: wl-equsalcom 38058 is also interesting. (Contributed by BJ, 6-Oct-2018.)

⊢ ([𝑦 / 𝑥][𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 ↔ [𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑)
Theorem	bj-dvelimdv 37348*	Deduction form of dvelim 2485 with disjoint variable conditions. Uncurried (imported) form of bj-dvelimdv1 37349. 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 1937 can be replaced with nfal 2358 followed by nfn 1880. Remark: nfald 2363 uses ax-11 2194; it might be possible to inline and use ax11w 2167 instead, but there is still a use via 19.12 2362 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 2737, df-clab 2744, df-cleq 2757, df-clel 2840 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 2737, df-clab 2744, df-cleq 2757, df-clel 2840 }) 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 37363, eliminable-abeqv 37364, eliminable-abeqab 37365, eliminable-velab 37362, eliminable-abelv 37366, eliminable-abelab 37367 respectively, which are all proved from {FOL, ax-ext 2737, df-clab 2744, df-cleq 2757, df-clel 2840 }. (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 2744, dfcleq 2758 (proved from {FOL, ax-ext 2737, df-cleq 2757 }), and dfclel 2841 (proved from {FOL, df-clel 2840 }). 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 37357, eliminable2b 37358 and eliminable3a 37360, 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 1562, 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 2744 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 2744, ax-ext 2737 and df-cleq 2757 are sufficient (over FOL) to eliminate class terms. To prove that { df-clab 2744, df-cleq 2757, df-clel 2840 } provides a definitional extension of {FOL, ax-ext 2737 }, 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 2744, df-cleq 2757, df-clel 2840 }. 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 2737 }. 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 2744, df-cleq 2757, df-clel 2840 }. 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 2737. One could move all theorems from cab 2743 to df-clel 2840 (except for dfcleq 2758 and cvjust 2759) 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 2757. Note that without ax-ext 2737, the $a-statements df-clab 2744, df-cleq 2757, and df-clel 2840 are no longer eliminable (see previous section) (but PROBABLY df-clab 2744 is still conservative , while df-cleq 2757 and df-clel 2840 are not). This is not a reason not to study what is provable with them but without ax-ext 2737, 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 2145, wel 2146, ax-8 2147, ax-9 2155). Remark: the weakening of eleq1 2853 / eleq2 2854 to eleq1w 2848 / eleq2w 2849 can also be done with eleq1i 2856, eqeltri 2861, eqeltrri 2862, eleq1a 2860, eleq1d 2850, eqeltrd 2865, eqeltrrd 2866, eqneltrd 2885, eqneltrrd 2886, nelneq 2889. Remark: possibility to remove dependency on ax-10 2178, ax-11 2194, ax-13 2406 from nfcri 2919 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 2939.
Theorem	bj-denoteslem 37368*	Duplicate of issettru 2843 and bj-issettruALTV 37370. Lemma for bj-denotesALTV 37369. (Contributed by BJ, 24-Apr-2024.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ (∃𝑥 𝑥 = 𝐴 ↔ 𝐴 ∈ {𝑦 ∣ ⊤})
Theorem	bj-denotesALTV 37369*	Moved to main as iseqsetv-clel 2844 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 278 (to add an intermediate proposition ∃𝑧𝑧 = 𝐴 with a fresh 𝑧), cbvexvw 2060, and eqeq1 2769, requires the core axioms and { ax-9 2155, ax-ext 2737, df-cleq 2757 } whereas this proof requires the core axioms and { ax-8 2147, df-clab 2744, df-clel 2840 }. Theorem bj-issetwt 37372 proves that "existing" is equivalent to being a member of a class abstraction. It also requires, with the present proof, { ax-8 2147, df-clab 2744, df-clel 2840 } (whereas with the shorter proof from cbvexvw 2060 and eqeq1 2769 it would require { ax-8 2147, ax-9 2155, ax-ext 2737, df-clab 2744, df-cleq 2757, df-clel 2840 }). That every class is equal to a class abstraction is proved by abid1 2901, which requires { ax-8 2147, ax-9 2155, ax-ext 2737, df-clab 2744, df-cleq 2757, df-clel 2840 }. Note that there is no disjoint variable condition on 𝑥, 𝑦 but the theorem does not depend on ax-13 2406. Actually, the proof depends only on the logical axioms ax-1 6 through ax-7 2031 and sp 2221. 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 2737 and df-cleq 2757 (e.g., eqid 2765 and eqeq1 2769). In particular, one cannot even prove ⊢ ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝐴 ⇒ ⊢ 𝐴 = 𝐴 without ax-ext 2737 and df-cleq 2757. (Contributed by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

From there, one can prove isset 3471 using eleq2i 2857 (which requires ax-ext 2737 and df-cleq 2757). (Contributed by BJ, 29-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)

21.19.5.3  Characterization among sets versus among classes
Theorem	elelb 37394	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).
