Statement
Theorem	prexOLD 5401	Obsolete version of prex 5396 as of 6-Mar-2026. (Contributed by NM, 15-Jul-1993.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝐴, 𝐵} ∈ V
Theorem	exel 5402*	There exist two sets, one a member of the other. This theorem looks similar to el 5406, but its meaning is different. It only depends on the axioms ax-mp 5 to ax-4 1842, ax-6 2000, and ax-pr 5391. This theorem does not exclude that these two sets could actually be one single set containing itself. That two different sets exist is proved by exexneq 5403. (Contributed by SN, 23-Dec-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∃𝑥 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦
Theorem	exexneq 5403*	There exist two different sets. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2402. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-8 2147. (Revised by SN, 21-Sep-2023.) Avoid ax-12 2213. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) Use ax-pr 5391 instead of ax-pow 5327. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 3-Dec-2024.) Extract this result from the proof of dtru 5405. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∃𝑦 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	exneq 5404*	Given any set (the "𝑦 " in the statement), there exists a set not equal to it. The same statement without disjoint variable condition is false, since we do not have ∃𝑥¬ 𝑥 = 𝑥. This theorem is proved directly from set theory axioms (no class definitions) and does not depend on ax-ext 2733, ax-sep 5249, or ax-pow 5327 nor auxiliary logical axiom schemes ax-10 2178 to ax-13 2402. See dtruALT 5350 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and dtruALT2 5332 for a proof using ax-pow 5327 instead of ax-pr 5391. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2402. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-8 2147. (Revised by SN, 21-Sep-2023.) Avoid ax-12 2213. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) Use ax-pr 5391 instead of ax-pow 5327. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 3-Dec-2024.) Extract this result from the proof of dtru 5405. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ∃𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	dtru 5405*	Given any set (the "𝑦 " in the statement), not all sets are equal to it. The same statement without disjoint variable condition is false since it contradicts stdpc6 2061. The same comments and revision history concerning axiom usage as in exneq 5404 apply. See dtruALT 5350 and dtruALT2 5332 for alternate proofs avoiding ax-pr 5391. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Extract exneq 5404 as an intermediate result. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	el 5406*	Any set is an element of some other set. See elALT 5410 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and see elALT2 5331 for a proof that uses ax-9 2155 and ax-pow 5327 instead of ax-pr 5391. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) Use ax-pr 5391 instead of ax-9 2155 and ax-pow 5327. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 2-Dec-2024.) (Proof shortened by Matthew House, 6-Apr-2026.)

⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∃𝑥 𝐴 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	selsALT 5409*	Alternate proof of sels 5408, requiring ax-sep 5249 but not using el 5406 (which is proved from it as elALT 5410). (especially when the proof of el 5406 is inlined in sels 5408). (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) Generalize from the proof of elALT 5410. (Revised by BJ, 3-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∃𝑥 𝐴 ∈ 𝑥)

Theorem	opthwiener 5487	Justification theorem for the ordered pair definition in Norbert Wiener, A simplification of the logic of relations, Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, 1914, vol. 17, pp.387-390.

Theorem	opthhausdorff 5490	Justification theorem for the ordered pair definition of Felix Hausdorff in "Grundzüge der Mengenlehre" ("Basics of Set Theory"), 1914, p. 32: ⟨𝐴, 𝐵⟩H = {{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 5319). Furthermore, Hausdorff demanded that 𝑂 and 𝑇 are both different from 𝐴 as well as 𝐵, which is actually not necessary in full extent (𝐴 ≠ 𝑇 is not required). This definition is meaningful only for classes 𝐴 and 𝐵 that exist as sets (i.e., are not proper classes): If 𝐴 and 𝐶 were different proper classes (𝐴 ≠ 𝐶), then {{𝐴, 𝑂}, {𝐵, 𝑇}} = {{𝐶, 𝑂}, {𝐷, 𝑇} ↔ {{𝑂}, {𝐵, 𝑇}} = {{𝑂}, {𝐷, 𝑇} is true if 𝐵 = 𝐷, but (𝐴 = 𝐶 ∧ 𝐵 = 𝐷) would be false.

Furthermore, Hausdorff demanded that 𝑂 and 𝑇 are both different from 𝐴 as well as 𝐵, which is actually not necessary if all involved classes exist as sets (i.e. are not proper classes), in contrast to opthhausdorff 5490.
