2.4  ZF Set Theory - add the Axiom of Union
2.4.1  Introduce the Axiom of Union
Axiom	ax-un 7745*	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 7747 states that the union itself exists. A version with the standard abbreviation for union is uniex2 7748. A version using class notation is uniex 7752. The union of a class df-uni 4878 should not be confused with the union of two classes df-un 3913. Their relationship is shown in unipr 4894. (Contributed by NM, 23-Dec-1993.)

Theorem	zfun 7746*	Axiom of Union expressed with the fewest number of different variables. (Contributed by NM, 14-Aug-2003.) Use ax-un 7745 instead. (New usage is discouraged.)

Theorem	axun2 7747*	A variant of the Axiom of Union ax-un 7745. 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.)

⊢ ∪ 𝑥 ∈ V
Theorem	uniexg 7751	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	uniex 7752	The Axiom of Union in class notation. This says that if 𝐴 is a set i.e. 𝐴 ∈ V (see isset 3472), then the union of 𝐴 is also a set. Same as Axiom 3 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 16. (Contributed by NM, 11-Aug-1993.)

Theorem	sqxpexg 7763	The Cartesian square of a set is a set. (Contributed by AV, 13-Jan-2020.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 → (𝐴 × 𝐴) ∈ V)
Theorem	abnexg 7764*	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 7967. 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 7766 and pwnex 7767 respectively, proved from abnex 7765, which is a consequence of abnexg 7764 with 𝐴 = V). (Contributed by BJ, 2-Dec-2021.)

⊢ Ord On
Theorem	onprc 7786	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 7785), 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.
