Type	Label	Description
Statement
Theorem	axprOLD 5401*	Obsolete version of axpr 5396 as of 18-Sep-2025. (Contributed by NM, 14-Nov-2006.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ ∃𝑧∀𝑤((𝑤 = 𝑥 ∨ 𝑤 = 𝑦) → 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧)
Axiom	ax-pr 5402*	The Axiom of Pairing of ZF set theory. It was derived as Theorem axpr 5396 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, 14-Nov-2006.)
⊢ ∃𝑧∀𝑤((𝑤 = 𝑥 ∨ 𝑤 = 𝑦) → 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧)
Theorem	zfpair2 5403	Derive the abbreviated version of the Axiom of Pairing from ax-pr 5402. See zfpair 5390 for its derivation from the other axioms. (Contributed by NM, 14-Nov-2006.)
⊢ {𝑥, 𝑦} ∈ V
Theorem	vsnex 5404	A singleton built on a setvar is a set. (Contributed by BJ, 15-Jan-2025.)
⊢ {𝑥} ∈ V
Theorem	axprglem 5405*	Lemma for axprg 5406. (Contributed by GG, 11-Mar-2026.)
⊢ (𝑥 = 𝐴 → ∃𝑧∀𝑤((𝑤 = 𝐴 ∨ 𝑤 = 𝐵) → 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧))
Theorem	axprg 5406*	Derive The Axiom of Pairing with class variables. (Contributed by GG, 6-Mar-2026.)
⊢ ∃𝑧∀𝑤((𝑤 = 𝐴 ∨ 𝑤 = 𝐵) → 𝑤 ∈ 𝑧)
Theorem	prex 5407	The Axiom of Pairing using class variables. Theorem 7.13 of [Quine] p. 51. By virtue of its definition, an unordered pair remains a set (even though no longer a pair) even when its components are proper classes (see prprc 4731), so we can dispense with hypotheses requiring them to be sets. (Contributed by NM, 15-Jul-1993.) Avoid ax-nul 5267 and shorten proof. (Revised by GG, 6-Mar-2026.)
⊢ {𝐴, 𝐵} ∈ V
Theorem	snex 5408	A singleton is a set. Theorem 7.12 of [Quine] p. 51, proved using Extensionality, Separation and Pairing. See also snexALT 5352. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 19-May-2013.) Avoid ax-nul 5267 and shorten proof. (Revised by GG, 6-Mar-2026.)
⊢ {𝐴} ∈ V
Theorem	snexg 5409	A singleton built on a set is a set. Special case of snex 5408 which is intuitionistically valid. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 19-May-2013.) Extract from snex 5408 and shorten proof. (Revised by BJ, 15-Jan-2025.) (Proof shortened by GG, 6-Mar-2026.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → {𝐴} ∈ V)
Theorem	snexgALT 5410	Alternate proof of snexg 5409 based on vsnex 5404, which uses an instance of ax-sep 5255. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 19-May-2013.) Extract from snex 5408 and shorten proof. (Revised by BJ, 15-Jan-2025.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → {𝐴} ∈ V)
Theorem	snexOLD 5411	Obsolete version of snex 5408 as of 6-Mar-2026. (Contributed by NM, 7-Aug-1994.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 19-May-2013.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝐴} ∈ V
Theorem	prexOLD 5412	Obsolete version of prex 5407 as of 6-Mar-2026. (Contributed by NM, 15-Jul-1993.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ {𝐴, 𝐵} ∈ V
Theorem	exel 5413*	There exist two sets, one a member of the other. This theorem looks similar to el 5417, but its meaning is different. It only depends on the axioms ax-mp 5 to ax-4 1842, ax-6 2000, and ax-pr 5402. 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 5414. (Contributed by SN, 23-Dec-2024.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∃𝑥 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦
Theorem	exexneq 5414*	There exist two different sets. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2403. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-8 2147. (Revised by SN, 21-Sep-2023.) Avoid ax-12 2215. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) Use ax-pr 5402 instead of ax-pow 5334. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 3-Dec-2024.) Extract this result from the proof of dtru 5416. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∃𝑦 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	exneq 5415*	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 2734, ax-sep 5255, or ax-pow 5334 nor auxiliary logical axiom schemes ax-10 2178 to ax-13 2403. See dtruALT 5357 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and dtruALT2 5339 for a proof using ax-pow 5334 instead of ax-pr 5402. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2403. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-8 2147. (Revised by SN, 21-Sep-2023.) Avoid ax-12 2215. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) Use ax-pr 5402 instead of ax-pow 5334. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 3-Dec-2024.) Extract this result from the proof of dtru 5416. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ∃𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	dtru 5416*	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 5415 apply. See dtruALT 5357 and dtruALT2 5339 for alternate proofs avoiding ax-pr 5402. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Extract exneq 5415 as an intermediate result. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	el 5417*	Any set is an element of some other set. See elALT 5421 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and see elALT2 5338 for a proof that uses ax-9 2155 and ax-pow 5334 instead of ax-pr 5402. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) Use ax-pr 5402 instead of ax-9 2155 and ax-pow 5334. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 2-Dec-2024.) (Proof shortened by Matthew House, 6-Apr-2026.)
⊢ ∃𝑦 𝑥 ∈ 𝑦

⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∃𝑥 𝐴 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	selsALT 5420*	Alternate proof of sels 5419, requiring ax-sep 5255 but not using el 5417 (which is proved from it as elALT 5421). (especially when the proof of el 5417 is inlined in sels 5419). (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) Generalize from the proof of elALT 5421. (Revised by BJ, 3-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∃𝑥 𝐴 ∈ 𝑥)

Theorem	opthhausdorff 5498	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 5326). 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.
