Syntax	cio 6446	Extend class notation with Russell's definition description binder (inverted iota).
class (℩𝑥𝜑)
Theorem	iotajust 6447*	Soundness justification theorem for df-iota 6448. (Contributed by Andrew Salmon, 29-Jun-2011.)
⊢ ∪ {𝑦 ∣ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑦}} = ∪ {𝑧 ∣ {𝑥 ∣ 𝜑} = {𝑧}}
Definition	df-iota 6448*	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 6467); otherwise, it evaluates to the empty set (see iotanul 6474). 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 7330 (or iotacl 6482 for unbounded iota), as demonstrated in the proof of supub 9395. This can be easier than applying riotasbc 7332 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.

2.3.16  Functions
Syntax	wfun 6490	Extend the definition of a wff to include the function predicate. (Read: 𝐴 is a function.)
wff Fun 𝐴
Syntax	wfn 6491	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 6492	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 6493	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 6494	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 6495	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 6496	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 6497	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 6498	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 15953). This is not the same as defining a specific function's mapping, which is typically done using the format of cmpt 5188 with the maps-to notation (see df-mpt 5189 and df-mpo 7362). Contrast this predicate with the predicates to determine if some class is a function with a given domain (df-fn 6499), a function with a given domain and codomain (df-f 6500), a one-to-one function (df-f1 6501), an onto function (df-fo 6502), or a one-to-one onto function (df-f1o 6503). For alternate definitions, see dffun2 6506, dffun3 6510, dffun4 6512, dffun5 6513, dffun6 6509, dffun7 6528, dffun8 6529, and dffun9 6530. (Contributed by NM, 1-Aug-1994.)
⊢ (Fun 𝐴 ↔ (Rel 𝐴 ∧ (𝐴 ∘ ◡𝐴) ⊆ I ))
Definition	df-fn 6499	Define a function with domain. Definition 6.15(1) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 27. For alternate definitions, see dffn2 6670, dffn3 6681, dffn4 6762, and dffn5 6901. (Contributed by NM, 1-Aug-1994.)
⊢ (𝐴 Fn 𝐵 ↔ (Fun 𝐴 ∧ dom 𝐴 = 𝐵))
Definition	df-f 6500	Define a function (mapping) with domain and codomain. Definition 6.15(3) of [TakeutiZaring] p. 27. 𝐹:𝐴⟶𝐵 can be read as "𝐹 is a function from 𝐴 to 𝐵". For alternate definitions, see dff2 7049, dff3 7050, and dff4 7051. (Contributed by NM, 1-Aug-1994.)
