2.3.15  Definite description binder (inverted iota)
Syntax	cio 6471	Extend class notation with Russell's definition description binder (inverted iota).
class (℩𝑥𝜑)
Theorem	iotajust 6472*	Soundness justification theorem for df-iota 6473. (Contributed by Andrew Salmon, 29-Jun-2011.)
⊢ ∪ {𝑦 ∣ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑦}} = ∪ {𝑧 ∣ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑧}}
Definition	df-iota 6473*	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 6491); otherwise, it evaluates to the empty set (see iotanul 6497). 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 7365 (or iotacl 6503 for unbounded iota), as demonstrated in the proof of supub 9402. This can be easier than applying riotasbc 7367 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.)
