2.1.15  The conditional operator for classes This subsection introduces the conditional operator for classes, denoted by if(𝜑, 𝐴, 𝐵) (see df-if 4526). It is the analogue for classes of the conditional operator for propositions, denoted by if-(𝜑, 𝜓, 𝜒) (see df-ifp 1064).
Syntax	cif 4525	Extend class notation to include the conditional operator for classes.
class if(𝜑, 𝐴, 𝐵)
Definition	df-if 4526*	Definition of the conditional operator for classes. The expression if(𝜑, 𝐴, 𝐵) is read "if 𝜑 then 𝐴 else 𝐵". See iftrue 4531 and iffalse 4534 for its values. In the mathematical literature, this operator is rarely defined formally but is implicit in informal definitions such as "let f(x)=0 if x=0 and 1/x otherwise". An important use for us is in conjunction with the weak deduction theorem, which is described in the next section, beginning at dedth 4584. (Contributed by NM, 15-May-1999.)

Theorem	ifnefalse 4537	When values are unequal, but an "if" condition checks if they are equal, then the "false" branch results. This is a simple utility to provide a slight shortening and simplification of proofs versus applying iffalse 4534 directly in this case. It happens, e.g., in oevn0 8553. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 15-May-2015.)

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 1083. For more information on the weak deduction theorem, see the Weak Deduction Theorem page mmdeduction.html 1083. 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 4584	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 4591. If the inference has other hypotheses with class variable 𝐴, these can be kept by assigning keephyp 4597 to them. For more information, see the Weak Deduction Theorem page mmdeduction.html 4597.
