2.4  ZF Set Theory - add the Axiom of Union
2.4.1  Introduce the Axiom of Union
Axiom	ax-un 7226*	Axiom of Union. An axiom of Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory. It states that a set 𝑦 exists that includes the union of a given set 𝑥 i.e. the collection of all members of the members of 𝑥. The variant axun2 7228 states that the union itself exists. A version with the standard abbreviation for union is uniex2 7229. A version using class notation is uniex 7230. The union of a class df-uni 4672 should not be confused with the union of two classes df-un 3797. Their relationship is shown in unipr 4684. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧(∃𝑤(𝑧 ∈ 𝑤 ∧ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑥) → 𝑧 ∈ 𝑦)

Theorem	axun2 7228*	A variant of the Axiom of Union ax-un 7226. For any set 𝑥, there exists a set 𝑦 whose members are exactly the members of the members of 𝑥 i.e. the union of 𝑥. Axiom Union of [BellMachover] p. 466. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-2006.)
⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑧(𝑧 ∈ 𝑦 ↔ ∃𝑤(𝑧 ∈ 𝑤 ∧ 𝑤 ∈ 𝑥))
Theorem	uniex2 7229*	The Axiom of Union using the standard abbreviation for union. Given any set 𝑥, its union 𝑦 exists. (Contributed by NM, 4-Jun-2006.)
⊢ ∃𝑦 𝑦 = ∪ 𝑥
Theorem	uniex 7230	The Axiom of Union in class notation. This says that if 𝐴 is a set i.e. 𝐴 ∈ V (see isset 3409), then the union of 𝐴 is also a set. Same as Axiom 3 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 16. (Contributed by NM, 11-Aug-1993.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ ∪ 𝐴 ∈ V
Theorem	vuniex 7231	The union of a setvar is a set. (Contributed by BJ, 3-May-2021.)
⊢ ∪ 𝑥 ∈ V
Theorem	uniexg 7232	The ZF Axiom of Union in class notation, in the form of a theorem instead of an inference. We use the antecedent 𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 instead of 𝐴 ∈ V to make the theorem more general and thus shorten some proofs; obviously the universal class constant V is one possible substitution for class variable 𝑉. (Contributed by NM, 25-Nov-1994.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → ∪ 𝐴 ∈ V)
Theorem	unex 7233	The union of two sets is a set. Corollary 5.8 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 16. (Contributed by NM, 1-Jul-1994.)

⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 ∧ 𝐵 ∈ 𝑊) → (𝐴 ∪ 𝐵) ∈ V)
Theorem	xpexg 7237	The Cartesian product of two sets is a set. Proposition 6.2 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 23. See also xpexgALT 7438. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-1994.)

Theorem	sqxpexg 7241	The Cartesian square of a set is a set. (Contributed by AV, 13-Jan-2020.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → (𝐴 × 𝐴) ∈ V)
Theorem	abnexg 7242*	Sufficient condition for a class abstraction to be a proper class. The class 𝐹 can be thought of as an expression in 𝑥 and the abstraction appearing in the statement as the class of values 𝐹 as 𝑥 varies through 𝐴. Assuming the antecedents, if that class is a set, then so is the "domain" 𝐴. The converse holds without antecedent, see abrexexg 7419. Note that the second antecedent ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴𝑥 ∈ 𝐹 cannot be translated to 𝐴 ⊆ 𝐹 since 𝐹 may depend on 𝑥. In applications, one may take 𝐹 = {𝑥} or 𝐹 = 𝒫 𝑥 (see snnex 7244 and pwnex 7245 respectively, proved from abnex 7243, which is a consequence of abnexg 7242 with 𝐴 = V). (Contributed by BJ, 2-Dec-2021.)

⊢ (𝐵 ∈ 𝐶 → (𝐴 ∈ V ↔ (𝐴 ∖ 𝐵) ∈ V))
Theorem	difsnexi 7247	If the difference of a class and a singleton is a set, the class itself is a set. (Contributed by AV, 15-Jan-2019.)

⊢ Ord On
Theorem	onprc 7262	No set contains all ordinal numbers. Proposition 7.13 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 38, but without using the Axiom of Regularity. This is also known as the Burali-Forti paradox (remark in [Enderton] p. 194). In 1897, Cesare Burali-Forti noticed that since the "set" of all ordinal numbers is an ordinal class (ordon 7261), it must be both an element of the set of all ordinal numbers yet greater than every such element. ZF set theory resolves this paradox by not allowing the class of all ordinal numbers to be a set (so instead it is a proper class). Here we prove the denial of its existence.
