⊢ (𝐴 ≠ ∅ ↔ ∩ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∅ = ∅)
Theorem	notzfaus 5333*	In the Separation Scheme zfauscl 5268, 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))
Theorem	intv 5334	The intersection of the universal class is empty. (Contributed by NM, 11-Sep-2008.)

2.3.1  Introduce the Axiom of Power Sets
Axiom	ax-pow 5335*	Axiom of Power Sets. An axiom of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. It states that a set 𝑦 exists that includes the power set of a given set 𝑥 i.e. contains every subset of 𝑥. The variant axpow2 5337 uses explicit subset notation. A version using class notation is pwex 5350. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)

⊢ ∃𝑦 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦
Theorem	dtruALT2 5340*	Alternate proof of dtru 5411 using ax-pow 5335 instead of ax-pr 5402. See dtruALT 5358 for another proof using ax-pow 5335 instead of ax-pr 5402. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2376. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-12 2177. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	dtrucor 5341*	Corollary of dtru 5411. 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 5342. (Contributed by NM, 27-Jun-2002.)
⊢ 𝑥 = 𝑦    ⇒   ⊢ 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦
Theorem	dtrucor2 5342	The theorem form of the deduction dtrucor 5341 leads to a contradiction, as mentioned in the "Wrong!" example at mmdeduction.html#bad 5341. Usage of this theorem is discouraged because it depends on ax-13 2376. (Contributed by NM, 20-Oct-2007.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑥 ≠ 𝑦)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝜑 ∧ ¬ 𝜑)
Theorem	dvdemo1 5343*	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 5344, 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 5344 for details on the "disjoint variable" mechanism. (The verb "bundle" to express this phenomenon was introduced by Raph Levien.) Note that dvdemo1 5343 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 2157 nor ax-13 2376. (Contributed by NM, 1-Dec-2006.) (Revised by BJ, 13-Jan-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	dvdemo2 5344*	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 5343, 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 5343 for details on the "disjoint variable" mechanism. Note that dvdemo2 5344 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 2141, ax-11 2157, ax-12 2177, ax-13 2376. (Contributed by NM, 1-Dec-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2376. (Revised by BJ, 13-Jan-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑥(𝑥 = 𝑦 → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	nfnid 5345	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 5340 in its proof. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 8-Oct-2016.)
⊢ ¬ Ⅎ𝑥𝑥
Theorem	nfcvb 5346	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 2376. (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (Ⅎ𝑥𝑦 ↔ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦)
Theorem	vpwex 5347	Power set axiom: the powerclass of a set is a set. Axiom 4 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 17. (Contributed by NM, 30-Oct-2003.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) Revised to prove pwexg 5348 from vpwex 5347. (Revised by BJ, 10-Aug-2022.)

Theorem	pwex 5350	Power set axiom expressed in class notation. (Contributed by NM, 21-Jun-1993.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ 𝒫 𝐴 ∈ V
Theorem	pwel 5351	Quantitative version of pwexg 5348: the powerset of an element of a class is an element of the double powerclass of the union of that class. Exercise 10 of [Enderton] p. 26. (Contributed by NM, 13-Jan-2007.) Remove use of ax-nul 5276 and ax-pr 5402 and shorten proof. (Revised by BJ, 13-Apr-2024.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝐵 → 𝒫 𝐴 ∈ 𝒫 𝒫 ∪ 𝐵)
Theorem	abssexg 5352*	Existence of a class of subsets. (Contributed by NM, 15-Jul-2006.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → {𝑥 ∣ (𝑥 ⊆ 𝐴 ∧ 𝜑)} ∈ V)
Theorem	snexALT 5353	Alternate proof of snex 5406 using Power Set (ax-pow 5335) instead of Pairing (ax-pr 5402). Unlike in the proof of zfpair 5391, Replacement (ax-rep 5249) is not needed. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝐴} ∈ V
Theorem	p0ex 5354	The power set of the empty set (the ordinal 1) is a set. See also p0exALT 5355. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.)
⊢ {∅} ∈ V
Theorem	p0exALT 5355	Alternate proof of p0ex 5354 which is quite different and longer if snexALT 5353 is expanded. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {∅} ∈ V
Theorem	pp0ex 5356	The power set of the power set of the empty set (the ordinal 2) is a set. (Contributed by NM, 24-Jun-1993.)
⊢ {∅, {∅}} ∈ V
Theorem	ord3ex 5357	The ordinal number 3 is a set, proved without the Axiom of Union ax-un 7727. (Contributed by NM, 2-May-2009.)
⊢ {∅, {∅}, {∅, {∅}}} ∈ V
Theorem	dtruALT 5358*	Alternate proof of dtru 5411 which requires more axioms but is shorter and may be easier to understand. Like dtruALT2 5340, it uses ax-pow 5335 rather than ax-pr 5402. Assuming that ZF set theory is consistent, we cannot prove this theorem unless we specify that 𝑥 and 𝑦 be distinct. Specifically, Theorem spcev 3585 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.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	axc16b 5359*	This theorem shows that Axiom ax-c16 38856 is redundant in the presence of Theorem dtruALT2 5340, which states simply that at least two things exist. This justifies the remark at mmzfcnd.html#twoness 5340 (which links to this theorem). (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.) (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.)
⊢ (∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦 → (𝜑 → ∀𝑥𝜑))
Theorem	eunex 5360	Existential uniqueness implies there is a value for which the wff argument is false. (Contributed by NM, 24-Oct-2010.) (Proof shortened by BJ, 2-Jan-2023.)

⊢ ((∀𝑦 ∈ 𝐵 𝐶 ∈ 𝐴 ∧ 𝐵 ≠ ∅) → (∃!𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∃𝑦 ∈ 𝐵 𝑥 = 𝐶 ↔ ∃!𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝐵 𝑥 = 𝐶))
Theorem	reusv2 5373*	Two ways to express single-valuedness of a class expression 𝐶(𝑦) that is constant for those 𝑦 ∈ 𝐵 such that 𝜑.

Theorem	zfpair 5391	The Axiom of Pairing of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. Axiom 2 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 15. In some textbooks this is stated as a separate axiom; here we show it is redundant since it can be derived from the other axioms. This theorem should not be referenced by any proof other than axprALT 5392. Instead, use zfpair2 5403 below so that the uses of the Axiom of Pairing can be more easily identified.
