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.

21.19.5.15  Tuples of classes This subsection gives a definition of an ordered pair, or couple (2-tuple), that "works" for proper classes, as evidenced by Theorems bj-2uplth 37767 and bj-2uplex 37768, and more importantly, bj-pr21val 37759 and bj-pr22val 37765. In particular, one can define well-behaved tuples of classes. Classes in ZF(C) are only virtual, and in particular they cannot be quantified over. Theorem bj-2uplex 37768 has advantages: in view of df-br 5108, several sethood antecedents could be removed from existing theorems. For instance, relsnopg 5788 (resp. relsnop 5790) would hold without antecedents (resp. hypotheses) thanks to relsnb 5787). Also, the antecedent Rel 𝑅 could be removed from brrelex12 5711 and related theorems brrelex*, and, as a consequence, of multiple later theorems. Similarly, df-struct 17243 could be simplified by removing the exception currently made for the empty set. The projections are denoted by pr1 and pr2 and the couple with projections (or coordinates) 𝐴 and 𝐵 is denoted by ⦅𝐴, 𝐵⦆. Note that this definition uses the Kuratowski definition (df-op 4594) as a preliminary definition, and then "redefines" a couple. It could also use the "short" version of the Kuratowski pair (see opthreg 9600) without needing the axiom of regularity; it could even bypass this definition by "inlining" it. This definition is due to Anthony Morse and is expounded (with idiosyncratic notation) in Anthony P. Morse, A Theory of Sets, Academic Press, 1965 (second edition 1986). Note that this extends in a natural way to tuples. A variation of this definition is justified in opthprc 5723, but here we use "tagged versions" of the factors (see df-bj-tag 37721) so that an m-tuple can equal an n-tuple only when m = n (and the projections are the same). A comparison of the different definitions of tuples (strangely not mentioning Morse's), is given in Dominic McCarty and Dana Scott, Reconsidering ordered pairs, Bull. Symbolic Logic, Volume 14, Issue 3 (Sept. 2008), 379--397. where a recursive definition of tuples is given that avoids the two-step definition of tuples and that can be adapted to various set theories. Finally, another survey is Akihiro Kanamori, The empty set, the singleton, and the ordered pair, Bull. Symbolic Logic, Volume 9, Number 3 (Sept. 2003), 273--298.

Definition	df-bj-proj 37737*	Definition of the class projection corresponding to tagged tuples. The expression (𝐴 Proj 𝐵) denotes the projection on the A^th component. (Contributed by BJ, 6-Apr-2019.) (New usage is discouraged.)

Syntax	bj-c1upl 37743	Syntax for Morse monuple. (Contributed by BJ, 6-Apr-2019.)
class ⦅𝐴⦆
Definition	df-bj-1upl 37744	Definition of the Morse monuple (1-tuple). This is not useful per se, but is used as a step towards the definition of couples (2-tuples, or ordered pairs). The reason for "tagging" the set is so that an m-tuple and an n-tuple be equal only when m = n. Note that with this definition, the 0-tuple is the empty set. New usage is discouraged because the precise definition is generally unimportant compared to the characteristic properties bj-2upleq 37758, bj-2uplth 37767, bj-2uplex 37768, and the properties of the projections (see df-bj-pr1 37747 and df-bj-pr2 37761).

Theorem	bj-2upln0 37769	A couple is nonempty. (Contributed by BJ, 21-Apr-2019.)
⊢ ⦅𝐴, 𝐵⦆ ≠ ∅
Theorem	bj-2upln1upl 37770	A couple is never equal to a monuple. It is in order to have this "non-clashing" result that tagging was used. Without tagging, we would have ⦅𝐴, ∅⦆ = ⦅𝐴⦆. Note that in the context of Morse tuples, it is natural to define the 0-tuple as the empty set. Therefore, the present theorem together with bj-1upln0 37755 and bj-2upln0 37769 tell us that an m-tuple may equal an n-tuple only when m = n, at least for m, n <= 2, but this result would extend as soon as we define n-tuples for higher values of n. (Contributed by BJ, 21-Apr-2019.)

21.19.5.17  Axioms for finite unions In this section, we introduce the axiom of singleton ax-bj-sn 37779 and the axiom of binary union ax-bj-bun 37783. Both axioms are implied by the standard axioms of unordered pair ax-pr 5402 and of union ax-un 7739 (see snex 5408 and unex 7749). Conversely, the axiom of unordered pair ax-pr 5402 is implied by the axioms of singleton and of binary union, as proved in bj-prexg 37785 and bj-prex 37786. The axioms of union ax-un 7739 and of powerset ax-pow 5334 are independent of these axioms: consider respectively the class of pseudo-hereditarily sets of cardinality less than a given singular strong limit cardinal, see Greg Oman, On the axiom of union, Arch. Math. Logic (2010) 49:283--289 (that model does have finite unions), and the class of well-founded hereditarily countable sets (or hereditarily less than a given uncountable regular cardinal). See also https://mathoverflow.net/questions/81815 5334 and https://mathoverflow.net/questions/48365 5334. A proof by finite induction shows that the existence of finite unions is equivalent to the existence of binary unions and of nullary unions (the latter being the axiom of the empty set ax-nul 5267). The axiom of binary union is useful in theories without the axioms of union ax-un 7739 and of powerset ax-pow 5334. For instance, the class of well-founded sets hereditarily of cardinality at most 𝑛 ∈ ℕ0 with ordinary membership relation is a model of { ax-ext 2734, ax-rep 5236, ax-sep 5255, ax-nul 5267, ax-reg 9567 } and the axioms of existence of unordered 𝑚-tuples for all 𝑚 ≤ 𝑛, and in most cases one would like to rule out such models, hence the need for extra axioms, typically variants of powersets or unions. The axiom of adjunction ax-bj-adj 37788 is more widely used, and is an axiom of General Set Theory. We prove how to retrieve it from binary union and singleton in bj-adjfrombun 37792 and conversely how to prove from adjunction singleton (bj-snfromadj 37790) and unordered pair (bj-prfromadj 37791).

⊢ (𝐵 ∈ 𝑉 → (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 ↔ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝐵 ∧ 𝐴 ∈ 𝑥)))
Theorem	bj-pw0ALT 37795	Alternate proof of pw0 4776. The proofs have a similar structure: pw0 4776 uses the definitions of powerclass and singleton as class abstractions, whereas bj-pw0ALT 37795 uses characterizations of their elements. Both proofs then use transitivity of a congruence relation (equality for pw0 4776 and biconditional for bj-pw0ALT 37795) to translate the property ss0b 4354 into the wanted result. To translate a biconditional into a class equality, pw0 4776 uses abbii 2829 (which yields an equality of class abstractions), while bj-pw0ALT 37795 uses eqriv 2759 (which requires a biconditional of membership of a given setvar variable). Note that abbii 2829, through its closed form abbi 2827, is proved from eqrdv 2760, which is the deduction form of eqriv 2759. In the other direction, velpw 4565 and velsn 4603 are proved from the definitions of powerclass and singleton using elabg 3633, which is a version of abbii 2829 suited for membership characterizations.

Theorem	bj-elpwg 37798	If the intersection of two classes is a set, then inclusion among these classes is equivalent to membership in the powerclass. Common generalization of elpwg 4563 and elpw2g 5302 (the latter of which could be proved from it). (Contributed by BJ, 31-Dec-2023.)
⊢ ((𝐴 ∩ 𝐵) ∈ 𝑉 → (𝐴 ∈ 𝒫 𝐵 ↔ 𝐴 ⊆ 𝐵))
Theorem	bj-velpwALT 37799*	This theorem bj-velpwALT 37799 and the next theorem bj-elpwgALT 37800 are alternate proofs of velpw 4565 and elpwg 4563 respectively, where one proves first the setvar case and then generalizes using vtoclbg 3522 instead of proving first the general case using elab2g 3637 and then specifying. Here, this results in needing an extra DV condition, a longer combined proof and use of ax-12 2215. In other cases, that order is better (e.g., vsnex 5404 proved before snexg 5409).
