Statement
Theorem	exexneq 5401*	There exist two different sets. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2402. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-8 2143. (Revised by SN, 21-Sep-2023.) Avoid ax-12 2211. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) Use ax-pr 5389 instead of ax-pow 5321. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 3-Dec-2024.) Extract this result from the proof of dtru 5403. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ∃𝑥∃𝑦 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	exneq 5402*	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 5245, or ax-pow 5321 nor auxiliary logical axiom schemes ax-10 2174 to ax-13 2402. See dtruALT 5344 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and dtruALT2 5326 for a proof using ax-pow 5321 instead of ax-pr 5389. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Avoid ax-13 2402. (Revised by BJ, 31-May-2019.) Avoid ax-8 2143. (Revised by SN, 21-Sep-2023.) Avoid ax-12 2211. (Revised by Rohan Ridenour, 9-Oct-2024.) Use ax-pr 5389 instead of ax-pow 5321. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 3-Dec-2024.) Extract this result from the proof of dtru 5403. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ∃𝑥 ¬ 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	dtru 5403*	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 2047. The same comments and revision history concerning axiom usage as in exneq 5402 apply. See dtruALT 5344 and dtruALT2 5326 for alternate proofs avoiding ax-pr 5389. (Contributed by NM, 7-Nov-2006.) Extract exneq 5402 as an intermediate result. (Revised by BJ, 2-Jan-2025.)
⊢ ¬ ∀𝑥 𝑥 = 𝑦
Theorem	el 5404*	Any set is an element of some other set. See elALT 5408 for a shorter proof using more axioms, and see elALT2 5325 for a proof that uses ax-9 2151 and ax-pow 5321 instead of ax-pr 5389. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) (Proof shortened by Andrew Salmon, 25-Jul-2011.) Use ax-pr 5389 instead of ax-9 2151 and ax-pow 5321. (Revised by BTernaryTau, 2-Dec-2024.) (Proof shortened by Matthew House, 6-Apr-2026.)

⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∃𝑥 𝐴 ∈ 𝑥)
Theorem	selsALT 5407*	Alternate proof of sels 5406, requiring ax-sep 5245 but not using el 5404 (which is proved from it as elALT 5408). (especially when the proof of el 5404 is inlined in sels 5406). (Contributed by NM, 4-Jan-2002.) Generalize from the proof of elALT 5408. (Revised by BJ, 3-Apr-2019.) (Proof modification is discouraged.) (New usage is discouraged.)

Theorem	opthwiener 5482	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 5485	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 5313). 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.

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 5313). 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 5485.
