Type	Label	Description
Statement
Theorem	bm1.3ii 5301*	Convert implication to equivalence using the Separation Scheme (Aussonderung) ax-sep 5298. Similar to Theorem 1.3(ii) of [BellMachover] p. 463. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦(𝜑 → 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥)    ⇒   ⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦(𝑦 ∈ 𝑥 ↔ 𝜑)
Theorem	ax6vsep 5302*	Derive ax6v 1970 (a weakened version of ax-6 1969 where 𝑥 and 𝑦 must be distinct), from Separation ax-sep 5298 and Extensionality ax-ext 2701. See ax6 2381 for the derivation of ax-6 1969 from ax6v 1970. (Contributed by NM, 12-Nov-2013.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
2.2.3  Derive the Null Set Axiom
Theorem	axnulALT 5303*	Alternate proof of axnul 5304, proved from propositional calculus, ax-gen 1795, ax-4 1809, sp 2174, and ax-rep 5284. To check this, replace sp 2174 with the obsolete axiom ax-c5 38056 in the proof of axnulALT 5303 and type the Metamath program "MM> SHOW TRACE_BACK axnulALT / AXIOMS" command. (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 3-Feb-2008.) (Proof shortened by Mario Carneiro, 17-Nov-2016.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦 ¬ 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥
Theorem	axnul 5304*	The Null Set Axiom of ZF set theory: there exists a set with no elements. Axiom of Empty Set of [Enderton] p. 18. In some textbooks, this is presented as a separate axiom; here we show it can be derived from Separation ax-sep 5298. This version of the Null Set Axiom tells us that at least one empty set exists, but does not tell us that it is unique - we need the Axiom of Extensionality to do that (see nulmo 2706). This proof, suggested by Jeff Hoffman, uses only ax-4 1809 and ax-gen 1795 from predicate calculus, which are valid in "free logic" i.e. logic holding in an empty domain (see Axiom A5 and Rule R2 of [LeBlanc] p. 277). Thus, our ax-sep 5298 implies the existence of at least one set. Note that Kunen's version of ax-sep 5298 (Axiom 3 of [Kunen] p. 11) does not imply the existence of a set because his is universally closed, i.e., prefixed with universal quantifiers to eliminate all free variables. His existence is provided by a separate axiom stating ∃𝑥𝑥 = 𝑥 (Axiom 0 of [Kunen] p. 10). See axnulALT 5303 for a proof directly from ax-rep 5284. This theorem should not be referenced by any proof. Instead, use ax-nul 5305 below so that the uses of the Null Set Axiom can be more easily identified. (Contributed by Jeff Hoffman, 3-Feb-2008.) (Revised by NM, 4-Feb-2008.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Proof modification is discouraged.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∀𝑦 ¬ 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥
Axiom	ax-nul 5305*	The Null Set Axiom of ZF set theory. It was derived as axnul 5304 above and is therefore redundant, but we state it as a separate axiom here so that its uses can be identified more easily. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-2003.)

⊢ ¬ ∃𝑥 𝑥 = V
Theorem	vprc 5314	The universal class is not a member of itself (and thus is not a set). Proposition 5.21 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 21; our proof, however, does not depend on the Axiom of Regularity. (Contributed by NM, 23-Aug-1993.)

Theorem	iin0 5359*	An indexed intersection of the empty set, with a nonempty index set, is empty. (Contributed by NM, 20-Oct-2005.)
⊢ (𝐴 ≠ ∅ ↔ ∩ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∅ = ∅)
Theorem	notzfaus 5360*	In the Separation Scheme zfauscl 5300, we require that 𝑦 not occur in 𝜑 (which can be generalized to "not be free in"). Here we show special cases of 𝐴 and 𝜑 that result in a contradiction if that requirement is not met. (Contributed by NM, 8-Feb-2006.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 18-Nov-2023.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {∅}    &   ⊢ (𝜑 ↔ ¬ 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ ¬ ∃𝑦∀𝑥(𝑥 ∈ 𝑦 ↔ (𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∧ 𝜑))

⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	dtrucor 5368*	Corollary of dtru 5435. This example illustrates the danger of blindly trusting the standard Deduction Theorem without accounting for free variables: the theorem form of this deduction is not valid, as shown by dtrucor2 5369. (Contributed by NM, 27-Jun-2002.)
⊢ 𝑥 = 𝑦    ⇒   ⊢ 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦
Theorem	dtrucor2 5369	The theorem form of the deduction dtrucor 5368 leads to a contradiction, as mentioned in the "Wrong!" example at mmdeduction.html#bad 5368. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2369. (Contributed by NM, 20-Oct-2007.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∧ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	dvdemo1 5370*	Demonstration of a theorem that requires the setvar variables 𝑥 and 𝑦 to be disjoint (but without any other disjointness conditions, and in particular, none on 𝑧). That theorem bundles the theorems (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 disjoint), often called its "principal instance", and the two "degenerate instances" (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑥 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑦 disjoint) and (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑦 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑦 disjoint). Compare with dvdemo2 5371, which has the same principal instance and one common degenerate instance but crucially differs in the other degenerate instance. See https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html#distinct 5371 for details on the "disjoint variable" mechanism. (The verb "bundle" to express this phenomenon was introduced by Raph Levien.) Note that dvdemo1 5370 is partially bundled, in that the pairs of setvar variables 𝑥, 𝑧 and 𝑦, 𝑧 need not be disjoint, and in spite of that, its proof does not require ax-11 2152 nor ax-13 2369. (Contributed by NM, 1-Dec-2006.) (Revised by BJ, 13-Jan-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	dvdemo2 5371*	Demonstration of a theorem that requires the setvar variables 𝑥 and 𝑧 to be disjoint (but without any other disjointness conditions, and in particular, none on 𝑦). That theorem bundles the theorems (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 disjoint), often called its "principal instance", and the two "degenerate instances" (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑥 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑧 disjoint) and (⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑧 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥) with 𝑥, 𝑧 disjoint). Compare with dvdemo1 5370, which has the same principal instance and one common degenerate instance but crucially differs in the other degenerate instance. See https://us.metamath.org/mpeuni/mmset.html#distinct 5370 for details on the "disjoint variable" mechanism. Note that dvdemo2 5371 is partially bundled, in that the pairs of setvar variables 𝑥, 𝑦 and 𝑦, 𝑧 need not be disjoint, and in spite of that, its proof does not require any of the auxiliary axioms ax-10 2135, ax-11 2152, ax-12 2169, ax-13 2369. (Contributed by NM, 1-Dec-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2369. (Revised by BJ, 13-Jan-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	nfnid 5372	A setvar variable is not free from itself. This theorem is not true in a one-element domain, as illustrated by the use of dtruALT2 5367 in its proof. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 8-Oct-2016.)
⊢ ¬ Ⅎ𝑥𝑥
Theorem	nfcvb 5373	The "distinctor" expression ¬ ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦, stating that 𝑥 and 𝑦 are not the same variable, can be written in terms of Ⅎ in the obvious way. This theorem is not true in a one-element domain, because then Ⅎ𝑥𝑦 and ∀𝑥𝑥 = 𝑦 will both be true. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 8-Oct-2016.) Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2369. (New usage is discouraged.)

Theorem	snexALT 5380	Alternate proof of snex 5430 using Power Set (ax-pow 5362) instead of Pairing (ax-pr 5426). Unlike in the proof of zfpair 5418, Replacement (ax-rep 5284) is not needed.

⊢ {∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} ∈ V
Theorem	dtruALT 5385*	Alternate proof of dtru 5435 which requires more axioms but is shorter and may be easier to understand. Assuming that ZF set theory is consistent, we cannot prove this theorem unless we specify that 𝑥 and 𝑦 be distinct. Specifically, Theorem spcev 3595 requires that 𝑥 must not occur in the subexpression ¬ 𝑦 = {∅} in step 4 nor in the subexpression ¬ 𝑦 = ∅ in step 9. The proof verifier will require that 𝑥 and 𝑦 be in a distinct variable group to ensure this. You can check this by deleting the $d statement in set.mm and rerunning the verifier, which will print a detailed explanation of the distinct variable violation. (Contributed by NM, 15-Jul-1994.)

⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	axc16b 5386*	This theorem shows that Axiom ax-c16 38065 is redundant in the presence of Theorem dtruALT2 5367, which states simply that at least two things exist. This justifies the remark at mmzfcnd.html#twoness 5367 (which links to this theorem). (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.)
