2.1.16  The weak deduction theorem for set theory This subsection contains a few results related to the weak deduction theorem in set theory. For the weak deduction theorem in propositional calculus, see the section beginning with elimh 1099. For more information on the weak deduction theorem, see the Weak Deduction Theorem page mmdeduction.html 1099. In a Hilbert system of logic (which consists of a set of axioms, modus ponens, and the generalization rule), converting a deduction to a proof using the Deduction Theorem (taught in introductory logic books) involves an exponential increase of the number of steps as hypotheses are successively eliminated. Here is a trick that is not as general as the Deduction Theorem but requires only a linear increase in the number of steps. The general problem: We want to convert a deduction P |- Q into a proof of the theorem |- P -> Q i.e., we want to eliminate the hypothesis P. Normally this is done using the Deduction (meta)Theorem, which looks at the microscopic steps of the deduction and usually doubles or triples the number of these microscopic steps for each hypothesis that is eliminated. We will look at a special case of this problem, without appealing to the Deduction Theorem. We assume ZF with class notation. A and B are arbitrary (possibly proper) classes. P, Q, R, S and T are wffs. We define the conditional operator, if(P, A, B), as follows: if(P, A, B) =def= { x | (x \in A & P) v (x \in B & -. P) } (where x does not occur in A, B, or P). Lemma 1. A = if(P, A, B) -> (P <-> R), B = if(P, A, B) -> (S <-> R), S |- R Proof: Logic and Axiom of Extensionality. Lemma 2. A = if(P, A, B) -> (Q <-> T), T |- P -> Q Proof: Logic and Axiom of Extensionality. Here is a simple example that illustrates how it works. Suppose we have a deduction Ord A |- Tr A which means, "Assume A is an ordinal class. Then A is a transitive class." Note that A is a class variable that may be substituted with any class expression, so this is really a deduction scheme. We want to convert this to a proof of the theorem (scheme) |- Ord A -> Tr A. The catch is that we must be able to prove "Ord A" for at least one object A (and this is what makes it weaker than the ordinary Deduction Theorem). However, it is easy to prove |- Ord 0 (the empty set is ordinal). (For a typical textbook "theorem", i.e., deduction, there is usually at least one object satisfying each hypothesis, otherwise the theorem would not be very useful. We can always go back to the standard Deduction Theorem for those hypotheses where this is not the case.) Continuing with the example: Equality axioms (and Extensionality) yield |- A = if(Ord A, A, 0) -> (Ord A <-> Ord if(Ord A, A, 0)) (1) |- 0 = if(Ord A, A, 0) -> (Ord 0 <-> Ord if(Ord A, A, 0)) (2) From (1), (2) and |- Ord 0, Lemma 1 yields |- Ord if(Ord A, A, 0) (3) From (3) and substituting if(Ord A, A, 0) for A in the original deduction, |- Tr if(Ord A, A, 0) (4) Equality axioms (and Extensionality) yield |- A = if(Ord A, A, 0) -> (Tr A <-> Tr if(Ord A, A, 0)) (5) From (4) and (5), Lemma 2 yields |- Ord A -> Tr A (Q.E.D.)
Theorem	dedth 4551	Weak deduction theorem that eliminates a hypothesis 𝜑, making it become an antecedent. We assume that a proof exists for 𝜑 when the class variable 𝐴 is replaced with a specific class 𝐵. The hypothesis 𝜒 should be assigned to the inference, and the inference hypothesis eliminated with elimhyp 4558. If the inference has other hypotheses with class variable 𝐴, these can be kept by assigning keephyp 4564 to them. For more information, see the Weak Deduction Theorem page mmdeduction.html 4564.

⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ⊆ 𝐴} = {𝑦 ∣ 𝑦 ⊆ 𝐴}
Definition	df-pw 4569*	Define power class. Definition 5.10 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 17, but we also let it apply to proper classes, i.e. those that are not members of V. When applied to a set, this produces its power set. A power set of S is the set of all subsets of S, including the empty set and S itself. For example, if 𝐴 = {3, 5, 7}, then 𝒫 𝐴 = {∅, {3}, {5}, {7}, {3, 5}, {3, 7}, {5, 7}, {3, 5, 7}} (ex-pw 30810). We will later introduce the Axiom of Power Sets ax-pow 5341, which can be expressed in class notation per pwexg 5354. Still later we will prove, in hashpw 14493, that the size of the power set of a finite set is 2 raised to the power of the size of the set. (Contributed by NM, 24-Jun-1993.)

2.1.18  Unordered and ordered pairs
Theorem	snjust 4593*	Soundness justification theorem for df-sn 4595. (Contributed by Rodolfo Medina, 28-Apr-2010.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 29-Jun-2011.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝐴} = {𝑦 ∣ 𝑦 = 𝐴}
Syntax	csn 4594	Extend class notation to include singleton.
class {𝐴}
Definition	df-sn 4595*	Define the singleton of a class. Definition 7.1 of [Quine] p. 48. For convenience, it is well-defined for proper classes, i.e., those that are not elements of V, see snprc 4688. For an alternate definition see dfsn2 4607. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
⊢ {𝐴} = {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝐴}
Syntax	cpr 4596	Extend class notation to include unordered pair.
class {𝐴, 𝐵}
Definition	df-pr 4597	Define unordered pair of classes. Definition 7.1 of [Quine] p. 48. For example, 𝐴 ∈ {1, -1} → (𝐴↑2) = 1 (ex-pr 30811). They are unordered, so {𝐴, 𝐵} = {𝐵, 𝐴} as proven by prcom 4703. For a more traditional definition, but requiring a dummy variable, see dfpr2 4615. {𝐴, 𝐴} is also an unordered pair, but also a singleton because of {𝐴} = {𝐴, 𝐴} (see dfsn2 4607). Therefore, {𝐴, 𝐵} is called a proper (unordered) pair iff 𝐴 ≠ 𝐵 and 𝐴 and 𝐵 are sets. Note: ordered pairs are a completely different object defined below in df-op 4601. When the term "pair" is used without qualifier, it generally means "unordered pair", and the context makes it clear which version is meant. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
⊢ {𝐴, 𝐵} = ({𝐴} ∪ {𝐵})
Syntax	ctp 4598	Extend class notation to include unordered triple (sometimes called "unordered triplet").
class {𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶}
Definition	df-tp 4599	Define unordered triple of classes. Definition of [Enderton] p. 19. Note: ordered triples are a completely different object defined below in df-ot 4603. As with all tuples, when the term "triple" is used without qualifier, it means "ordered triple". (Contributed by NM, 9-Apr-1994.)
⊢ {𝐴, 𝐵, 𝐶} = ({𝐴, 𝐵} ∪ {𝐶})
Syntax	cop 4600	Extend class notation to include ordered pair.
