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 1082. For more information on the weak deduction theorem, see the Weak Deduction Theorem page mmdeduction.html 1082. 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 4547	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 4554. If the inference has other hypotheses with class variable 𝐴, these can be kept by assigning keephyp 4560 to them. For more information, see the Weak Deduction Theorem page mmdeduction.html 4560.

Definition	df-pw 4565*	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 30358). We will later introduce the Axiom of Power Sets ax-pow 5320, which can be expressed in class notation per pwexg 5333. Still later we will prove, in hashpw 14401, 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 4588*	Soundness justification theorem for df-sn 4590. (Contributed by Rodolfo Medina, 28-Apr-2010.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 29-Jun-2011.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝐴} = {𝑦 ∣ 𝑦 = 𝐴}
Syntax	csn 4589	Extend class notation to include singleton.
class {𝐴}
Definition	df-sn 4590*	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 4681. For an alternate definition see dfsn2 4602. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
⊢ {𝐴} = {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 = 𝐴}
Syntax	cpr 4591	Extend class notation to include unordered pair.
class {𝐴, 𝐵}
Definition	df-pr 4592	Define unordered pair of classes. Definition 7.1 of [Quine] p. 48. For example, 𝐴 ∈ {1, -1} → (𝐴↑2) = 1 (ex-pr 30359). They are unordered, so {𝐴, 𝐵} = {𝐵, 𝐴} as proven by prcom 4696. For a more traditional definition, but requiring a dummy variable, see dfpr2 4610. {𝐴, 𝐴} is also an unordered pair, but also a singleton because of {𝐴} = {𝐴, 𝐴} (see dfsn2 4602). 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 4596. 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.)

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 4595	Extend class notation to include ordered pair.
class ⟨𝐴, 𝐵⟩
Definition	df-op 4596*	Definition of an ordered pair, equivalent to Kuratowski's definition {{𝐴}, {𝐴, 𝐵}} when the arguments are sets. Since the behavior of Kuratowski definition is not very useful for proper classes, we define it to be empty in this case (see opprc1 4861, opprc2 4862, and 0nelop 5456). For Kuratowski's actual definition when the arguments are sets, see dfop 4836. For the justifying theorem (for sets) see opth 5436. See dfopif 4834 for an equivalent formulation using the if operation. Definition 9.1 of [Quine] p. 58 defines an ordered pair unconditionally as ⟨𝐴, 𝐵⟩ = {{𝐴}, {𝐴, 𝐵}}, which has different behavior from our df-op 4596 when the arguments are proper classes. Ordinarily this difference is not important, since neither definition is meaningful in that case. Our df-op 4596 was chosen because it often makes proofs shorter by eliminating unnecessary sethood hypotheses. There are other ways to define ordered pairs. The basic requirement is that two ordered pairs are equal iff their respective members are equal. In 1914 Norbert Wiener gave the first successful definition ⟨𝐴, 𝐵⟩2 = {{{𝐴}, ∅}, {{𝐵}}}, justified by opthwiener 5474. This was simplified by Kazimierz Kuratowski in 1921 to our present definition. An even simpler definition ⟨𝐴, 𝐵⟩3 = {𝐴, {𝐴, 𝐵}} is justified by opthreg 9571, but it requires the Axiom of Regularity for its justification and is not commonly used. A definition that also works for proper classes is ⟨𝐴, 𝐵⟩4 = ((𝐴 × {∅}) ∪ (𝐵 × {{∅}})), justified by opthprc 5702. Nearly at the same time as Norbert Wiener, Felix Hausdorff proposed the following definition in "Grundzüge der Mengenlehre" ("Basics of Set Theory"), p. 32, in 1914: ⟨𝐴, 𝐵⟩5 = {{𝐴, 𝑂}, {𝐵, 𝑇}}. Hausdorff used 1 and 2 instead of 𝑂 and 𝑇, but actually any two different fixed sets will do (e.g., 𝑂 = ∅ and 𝑇 = {∅}, see 0nep0 5313). Furthermore, Hausdorff demanded that 𝑂 and 𝑇 are both different from 𝐴 as well as 𝐵, which is actually not necessary (at least not in full extent), see opthhausdorff0 5478 and opthhausdorff 5477. If we restrict our sets to nonnegative integers, an ordered pair definition that involves only elementary arithmetic is provided by nn0opthi 14235. An ordered pair of real numbers can also be represented by a complex number as shown by cru 12178. Kuratowski's ordered pair definition is standard for ZFC set theory, but it is very inconvenient to use in New Foundations theory because it is not type-level; a common alternate definition in New Foundations is the definition from [Rosser] p. 281. Since there are other ways to define ordered pairs, we discourage direct use of this definition so that most theorems won't depend on this particular construction; theorems will instead rely on dfopif 4834. (Contributed by NM, 28-May-1995.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 26-Apr-2015.) (Avoid depending on this detail.)
