⊢ ∪ {𝑦 ∣ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑦}} = ∪ {𝑧 ∣ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑧}}
Definition	df-iota 6454*	Define Russell's definition description binder, which can be read as "the unique 𝑥 such that 𝜑", where 𝜑 ordinarily contains 𝑥 as a free variable. Our definition is meaningful only when there is exactly one 𝑥 such that 𝜑 is true (see iotaval 6472); otherwise, it evaluates to the empty set (see iotanul 6478). Russell used the inverted iota symbol ℩ to represent the binder. Sometimes proofs need to expand an iota-based definition. That is, given "X = the x for which ... x ... x ..." holds, the proof needs to get to "... X ... X ...". A general strategy to do this is to use riotacl2 7340 (or iotacl 6484 for unbounded iota), as demonstrated in the proof of supub 9372. This can be easier than applying riotasbc 7342 or a version that applies an explicit substitution, because substituting an iota into its own property always has a bound variable clash which must be first renamed or else guarded with NF. (Contributed by Andrew Salmon, 30-Jun-2011.)

2.3.16  Functions
Syntax	wfun 6492	Extend the definition of a wff to include the function predicate. (Read: 𝐴 is a function.)
wff Fun 𝐴
Syntax	wfn 6493	Extend the definition of a wff to include the function predicate with a domain. (Read: 𝐴 is a function on 𝐵.)
wff 𝐴 Fn 𝐵
Syntax	wf 6494	Extend the definition of a wff to include the function predicate with domain and codomain. (Read: 𝐹 maps 𝐴 into 𝐵.)
wff 𝐹:𝐴⟶𝐵
Syntax	wf1 6495	Extend the definition of a wff to include one-to-one functions. (Read: 𝐹 maps 𝐴 one-to-one into 𝐵.) The notation ("1-1" above the arrow) is from Definition 6.15(5) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 27.
wff 𝐹:𝐴–1-1→𝐵
Syntax	wfo 6496	Extend the definition of a wff to include onto functions. (Read: 𝐹 maps 𝐴 onto 𝐵.) The notation ("onto" below the arrow) is from Definition 6.15(4) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 27.
wff 𝐹:𝐴–onto→𝐵
Syntax	wf1o 6497	Extend the definition of a wff to include one-to-one onto functions. (Read: 𝐹 maps 𝐴 one-to-one onto 𝐵.) The notation ("1-1" above the arrow and "onto" below the arrow) is from Definition 6.15(6) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 27.
wff 𝐹:𝐴–1-1-onto→𝐵
Syntax	cfv 6498	Extend the definition of a class to include the value of a function. Read: "the value of 𝐹 at 𝐴", or "𝐹 of 𝐴".
class (𝐹‘𝐴)
Syntax	wiso 6499	Extend the definition of a wff to include the isomorphism property. Read: "𝐻 is an 𝑅, 𝑆 isomorphism of 𝐴 onto 𝐵".
wff 𝐻 Isom 𝑅, 𝑆 (𝐴, 𝐵)
Definition	df-fun 6500	Define predicate that determines if some class 𝐴 is a function. Definition 10.1 of [Quine] p. 65. For example, the expression Fun cos is true once we define cosine (df-cos 16035). This is not the same as defining a specific function's mapping, which is typically done using the format of cmpt 5166 with the maps-to notation (see df-mpt 5167 and df-mpo 7372). Contrast this predicate with the predicates to determine if some class is a function with a given domain (df-fn 6501), a function with a given domain and codomain (df-f 6502), a one-to-one function (df-f1 6503), an onto function (df-fo 6504), or a one-to-one onto function (df-f1o 6505). For alternate definitions, see dffun2 6508, dffun3 6510, dffun4 6511, dffun5 6512, dffun6 6509, dffun7 6525, dffun8 6526, and dffun9 6527. (Contributed by NM, 1-Aug-1994.)
