Theoremtanhval-named 46401 Value of the named tanh function. Here we show the simple conversion to the conventional form used in set.mm, using the definition given by df-tanh 46398. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 10-May-2015.)
(𝐴 ∈ (cosh “ (ℂ ∖ {0})) → (tanh‘𝐴) = ((tan‘(i · 𝐴)) / i))
 
Theoremsinh-conventional 46402 Conventional definition of sinh. Here we show that the sinh definition we're using has the same meaning as the conventional definition used in some other sources. We choose a slightly different definition of sinh because it has fewer operations, and thus is more convenient to manipulate using set.mm. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 10-May-2015.)

Most of this subsection was moved to main set.mm, section "Logarithms to an arbitrary base".

 
Theoremlogb2aval 46427 Define the value of the logb function, the logarithm generalized to an arbitrary base, when used in the 2-argument form logb𝐵, 𝑋 (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 21-Jan-2017.) (Revised by David A. Wheeler, 16-Jul-2017.)

20.44.7  Logarithm laws generalized to an arbitrary base - log_

Define "log using an arbitrary base" function and then prove some of its properties. This builds on previous work by Stefan O'Rear.

This supports the notational form ((log_‘𝐵)‘𝑋); that looks a little more like traditional notation, but is different from other 2-parameter functions. E.g., ((log_‘10)‘100) = 2.

This form is less convenient to work with inside set.mm as compared to the (𝐵 logb 𝑋) form defined separately.

20.44.8  Formally define notions such as reflexivity

EXPERIMENTAL. Several terms are used in comments but not directly defined in set.mm. For example, there are proofs that a number of specific relations are reflexive, but there is no formal definition of what being reflexive actually *means*. Stating the relationships directly, instead of defining a broader property such as being reflexive, can reduce proof size (because the definition of that property does not need to be expanded later). A disadvantage, however, is that there are several terms that are widely used in comments but do not have a clear formal definition.

Here we define wffs that formally define some of these key terms. The intent isn't to use these directly, but to instead provide a clear formal definition of widely-used mathematical terminology (we even use this terminology within the comments of set.mm itself).

We could define these using extensible structures, but doing so appears overly restrictive. These definitions don't require the use of extensible structures; requiring something to be in an extensible structure to use them is too restrictive. Even if an extensible structure is already in use, it may in use for other things. For example, in geometry, there is a "less-than" relation, but while the geometry itself is an extensible structure, we would have to build a new structure to state "the geometric less-than relation is transitive" (which is more work than it's probably worth). By creating definitions that aren't tied to extensible structures we create definitions that can be applied to anything, including extensible structures, in whatever way we'd like.

BJ suggests that it might be better to define these as functions. There are many advantages to doing that, but they won't work for proper classes. I'm currently trying to also support proper classes, so I have not taken that approach, but if that turns out to be unreasonable then BJ's approach is very much worth considering. Examples would be: BinRel = (𝑥 ∈ V ↦ {𝑟𝑟 ⊆ (𝑥 × 𝑥)}), ReflBinRel = (𝑥 ∈ V ↦ {𝑟 ∈ ( BinRel 𝑥) ∣ ( I ↾ 𝑥) ⊆ 𝑟}), and IrreflBinRel = (𝑥 ∈ V ↦ {𝑟 ∈ ( BinRel 𝑥) ∣ (𝑟 ∩ ( I ↾ 𝑥)) = ∅}).

20.44.9  Algebra helpers

This is an experimental approach to make it clearer (and easier) to do basic algebra in set.mm.

These little theorems support basic algebra on equations at a slightly higher conceptual level. Instead of always having to "build up" equivalent expressions for one side of an equation, these theorems allow you to directly manipulate an equality. These higher-level steps lead to easier to understand proofs when they can be used, as well as proofs that are slightly shorter (when measured in steps).

There are disadvantages. In particular, this approach requires many theorems (for many permutations to provide all of the operations). It can also only handle certain cases; more complex approaches must still be approached by "building up" equalities as is done today.

However, I expect that we can create enough theorems to make it worth doing. I'm trying this out to see if this is helpful and if the number of permutations is manageable.

20.44.11  Formal methods "surprises"

Prove that some formal expressions using classical logic have meanings that might not be obvious to some lay readers. I find these are common mistakes and are worth pointing out to new people. In particular we prove alimp-surprise 46445, empty-surprise 46447, and eximp-surprise 46449.

 
Theoremalimp-surprise 46445 Demonstrate that when using "for all" and material implication the consequent can be both always true and always false if there is no case where the antecedent is true.

Those inexperienced with formal notations of classical logic can be surprised with what "for all" and material implication do together when the implication's antecedent is never true. This can happen, for example, when the antecedent is set membership but the set is the empty set (e.g., 𝑥𝑀 and 𝑀 = ∅).

This is perhaps best explained using an example. The sentence "All Martians are green" would typically be represented formally using the expression 𝑥(𝜑𝜓). In this expression 𝜑 is true iff 𝑥 is a Martian and 𝜓 is true iff 𝑥 is green. Similarly, "All Martians are not green" would typically be represented as 𝑥(𝜑 → ¬ 𝜓). However, if there are no Martians (¬ ∃𝑥𝜑), then both of those expressions are true. That is surprising to the inexperienced, because the two expressions seem to be the opposite of each other. The reason this occurs is because in classical logic the implication (𝜑𝜓) is equivalent to ¬ 𝜑𝜓 (as proven in imor 850). When 𝜑 is always false, ¬ 𝜑 is always true, and an or with true is always true.

Here are a few technical notes. In this notation, 𝜑 and 𝜓 are predicates that return a true or false value and may depend on 𝑥. We only say may because it actually doesn't matter for our proof. In Metamath this simply means that we do not require that 𝜑, 𝜓, and 𝑥 be distinct (so 𝑥 can be part of 𝜑 or 𝜓).

In natural language the term "implies" often presumes that the antecedent can occur in at one least circumstance and that there is some sort of causality. However, exactly what causality means is complex and situation-dependent. Modern logic typically uses material implication instead; this has a rigorous definition, but it is important for new users of formal notation to precisely understand it. There are ways to solve this, e.g., expressly stating that the antecedent exists (see alimp-no-surprise 46446) or using the allsome quantifier (df-alsi 46453) .

For other "surprises" for new users of classical logic, see empty-surprise 46447 and eximp-surprise 46449. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 17-Oct-2018.)

¬ ∃𝑥𝜑       (∀𝑥(𝜑𝜓) ∧ ∀𝑥(𝜑 → ¬ 𝜓))
 
Theoremalimp-no-surprise 46446 There is no "surprise" in a for-all with implication if there exists a value where the antecedent is true. This is one way to prevent for-all with implication from allowing anything. For a contrast, see alimp-surprise 46445. The allsome quantifier also counters this problem, see df-alsi 46453. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 27-Oct-2018.)
¬ (∀𝑥(𝜑𝜓) ∧ ∀𝑥(𝜑 → ¬ 𝜓) ∧ ∃𝑥𝜑)
 
Theoremempty-surprise 46447 Demonstrate that when using restricted "for all" over a class the expression can be both always true and always false if the class is empty.

Those inexperienced with formal notations of classical logic can be surprised with what restricted "for all" does over an empty set. It is important to note that 𝑥𝐴𝜑 is simply an abbreviation for 𝑥(𝑥𝐴𝜑) (per df-ral 3071). Thus, if 𝐴 is the empty set, this expression is always true regardless of the value of 𝜑 (see alimp-surprise 46445).

If you want the expression 𝑥𝐴𝜑 to not be vacuously true, you need to ensure that set 𝐴 is inhabited (e.g., 𝑥𝐴). (Technical note: You can also assert that 𝐴 ≠ ∅; this is an equivalent claim in classical logic as proven in n0 4286, but in intuitionistic logic the statement 𝐴 ≠ ∅ is a weaker claim than 𝑥𝐴.)

Some materials on logic (particularly those that discuss "syllogisms") are based on the much older work by Aristotle, but Aristotle expressly excluded empty sets from his system. Aristotle had a specific goal; he was trying to develop a "companion-logic" for science. He relegates fictions like fairy godmothers and mermaids and unicorns to the realms of poetry and literature... This is why he leaves no room for such nonexistent entities in his logic." (Groarke, "Aristotle: Logic", section 7. (Existential Assumptions), Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, http://www.iep.utm.edu/aris-log/ 4286). While this made sense for his purposes, it is less flexible than modern (classical) logic which does permit empty sets. If you wish to make claims that require a nonempty set, you must expressly include that requirement, e.g., by stating 𝑥𝜑. Examples of proofs that do this include barbari 2672, celaront 2674, and cesaro 2681.

Theoremempty-surprise2 46448 "Prove" that false is true when using a restricted "for all" over the empty set, to demonstrate that the expression is always true if the value ranges over the empty set.

Those inexperienced with formal notations of classical logic can be surprised with what restricted "for all" does over an empty set. We proved the general case in empty-surprise 46447. Here we prove an extreme example: we "prove" that false is true. Of course, we actually do no such thing (see notfal 1570); the problem is that restricted "for all" works in ways that might seem counterintuitive to the inexperienced when given an empty set. Solutions to this can include requiring that the set not be empty or by using the allsome quantifier df-alsc 46454. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 20-Oct-2018.)

¬ ∃𝑥 𝑥𝐴       𝑥𝐴
 
Theoremeximp-surprise 46449 Show what implication inside "there exists" really expands to (using implication directly inside "there exists" is usually a mistake).

Those inexperienced with formal notations of classical logic may use expressions combining "there exists" with implication. That is usually a mistake, because as proven using imor 850, such an expression can be rewritten using not with or - and that is often not what the author intended. New users of formal notation who use "there exists" with an implication should consider if they meant "and" instead of "implies". A stark example is shown in eximp-surprise2 46450. See also alimp-surprise 46445 and empty-surprise 46447. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 17-Oct-2018.)

(∃𝑥(𝜑𝜓) ↔ ∃𝑥𝜑𝜓))
 
Theoremeximp-surprise2 46450 Show that "there exists" with an implication is always true if there exists a situation where the antecedent is false.

Those inexperienced with formal notations of classical logic may use expressions combining "there exists" with implication. This is usually a mistake, because that combination does not mean what an inexperienced person might think it means. For example, if there is some object that does not meet the precondition 𝜑, then the expression 𝑥(𝜑𝜓) as a whole is always true, no matter what 𝜓 is (𝜓 could even be false, ). New users of formal notation who use "there exists" with an implication should consider if they meant "and" instead of "implies". See eximp-surprise 46449, which shows what implication really expands to. See also empty-surprise 46447. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 18-Oct-2018.)

20.44.12  Allsome quantifier

These are definitions and proofs involving an experimental "allsome" quantifier (aka "all some").

In informal language, statements like "All Martians are green" imply that there is at least one Martian. But it's easy to mistranslate informal language into formal notations because similar statements like 𝑥𝜑𝜓 do not imply that 𝜑 is ever true, leading to vacuous truths. See alimp-surprise 46445 and empty-surprise 46447 as examples of the problem. Some systems include a mechanism to counter this, e.g., PVS allows types to be appended with "+" to declare that they are nonempty. This section presents a different solution to the same problem.

The "allsome" quantifier expressly includes the notion of both "all" and "there exists at least one" (aka some), and is defined to make it easier to more directly express both notions. The hope is that if a quantifier more directly expresses this concept, it will be used instead and reduce the risk of creating formal expressions that look okay but in fact are mistranslations. The term "allsome" was chosen because it's short, easy to say, and clearly hints at the two concepts it combines.

I do not expect this to be used much in Metamath, because in Metamath there's a general policy of avoiding the use of new definitions unless there are very strong reasons to do so. Instead, my goal is to rigorously define this quantifier and demonstrate a few basic properties of it.

The syntax allows two forms that look like they would be problematic, but they are fine. When applied to a top-level implication we allow ∀!𝑥(𝜑𝜓), and when restricted (applied to a class) we allow ∀!𝑥𝐴𝜑. The first symbol after the setvar variable must always be if it is the form applied to a class, and since cannot begin a wff, it is unambiguous. The looks like it would be a problem because 𝜑 or 𝜓 might include implications, but any implication arrow within any wff must be surrounded by parentheses, so only the implication arrow of ∀! can follow the wff. The implication syntax would work fine without the parentheses, but I added the parentheses because it makes things clearer inside larger complex expressions, and it's also more consistent with the rest of the syntax.

Theorem2p2ne5 46463 Prove that 2 + 2 ≠ 5.

More generally, the phrase 2 + 2 = 5 has come to represent an obviously false dogma one may be required to believe. See the Wikipedia article for more about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_%2B_2_%3D_5. Unsurprisingly, we can easily prove that this claim is false. (Contributed by David A.

Theoremtestable 46465 In classical logic all wffs are testable, that is, it is always true that 𝜑 ∨ ¬ ¬ 𝜑). This is not necessarily true in intuitionistic logic. In intuitionistic logic, if this statement is true for some 𝜑, then 𝜑 is testable. The proof is trivial because it's simply a special case of the law of the excluded middle, which is true in classical logic but not necessarily true in intuitionisic logic. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 5-Dec-2018.)
