⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐵 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ (Lim (rank‘(𝐴 × 𝐵)) ↔ Lim ∪ (rank‘(𝐴 × 𝐵)))
Theorem	rankxpsuc 9879	The rank of a Cartesian product when the rank of the union of its arguments is a successor ordinal. Part of Exercise 4 of [Kunen] p. 107. See rankxplim 9876 for the limit ordinal case. (Contributed by NM, 19-Sep-2006.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐵 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ (((rank‘(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵)) = suc 𝐶 ∧ (𝐴 × 𝐵) ≠ ∅) → (rank‘(𝐴 × 𝐵)) = suc suc (rank‘(𝐴 ∪ 𝐵)))
Theorem	tcwf 9880	The transitive closure function is well-founded if its argument is. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 23-Jun-2013.)
⊢ (𝐴 ∈ ∪ (𝑅1 “ On) → (TC‘𝐴) ∈ ∪ (𝑅1 “ On))
Theorem	tcrank 9881	This theorem expresses two different facts from the two subset implications in this equality. In the forward direction, it says that the transitive closure has members of every rank below 𝐴. Stated another way, to construct a set at a given rank, you have to climb the entire hierarchy of ordinals below (rank‘𝐴), constructing at least one set at each level in order to move up the ranks. In the reverse direction, it says that every member of (TC‘𝐴) has a rank below the rank of 𝐴, since intuitively it contains only the members of 𝐴 and the members of those and so on, but nothing "bigger" than 𝐴. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 23-Jun-2013.)

2.6.9  Scott's trick; collection principle; Hilbert's epsilon
Theorem	scottex 9882*	Scott's trick collects all sets that have a certain property and are of the smallest possible rank. This theorem shows that the resulting collection, expressed as in Equation 9.3 of [Jech] p. 72, is a set. (Contributed by NM, 13-Oct-2003.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∣ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 (rank‘𝑥) ⊆ (rank‘𝑦)} ∈ V
Theorem	scott0 9883*	Scott's trick collects all sets that have a certain property and are of the smallest possible rank. This theorem shows that the resulting collection, expressed as in Equation 9.3 of [Jech] p. 72, contains at least one representative with the property, if there is one. In other words, the collection is empty iff no set has the property (i.e. 𝐴 is empty). (Contributed by NM, 15-Oct-2003.)
⊢ (𝐴 = ∅ ↔ {𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∣ ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 (rank‘𝑥) ⊆ (rank‘𝑦)} = ∅)
Theorem	scottexs 9884*	Theorem scheme version of scottex 9882. The collection of all 𝑥 of minimum rank such that 𝜑(𝑥) is true, is a set. (Contributed by NM, 13-Oct-2003.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ (𝜑 ∧ ∀𝑦([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 → (rank‘𝑥) ⊆ (rank‘𝑦)))} ∈ V
Theorem	scott0s 9885*	Theorem scheme version of scott0 9883. The collection of all 𝑥 of minimum rank such that 𝜑(𝑥) is true, is not empty iff there is an 𝑥 such that 𝜑(𝑥) holds. (Contributed by NM, 13-Oct-2003.)
⊢ (∃𝑥𝜑 ↔ {𝑥 ∣ (𝜑 ∧ ∀𝑦([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 → (rank‘𝑥) ⊆ (rank‘𝑦)))} ≠ ∅)
Theorem	cplem1 9886*	Lemma for the Collection Principle cp 9888. (Contributed by NM, 17-Oct-2003.)
⊢ 𝐶 = {𝑦 ∈ 𝐵 ∣ ∀𝑧 ∈ 𝐵 (rank‘𝑦) ⊆ (rank‘𝑧)}    &   ⊢ 𝐷 = ∪ 𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 𝐶    ⇒   ⊢ ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 (𝐵 ≠ ∅ → (𝐵 ∩ 𝐷) ≠ ∅)
Theorem	cplem2 9887*	Lemma for the Collection Principle cp 9888. (Contributed by NM, 17-Oct-2003.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ ∃𝑦∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 (𝐵 ≠ ∅ → (𝐵 ∩ 𝑦) ≠ ∅)
Theorem	cp 9888*	Collection Principle. This remarkable theorem scheme is in effect a very strong generalization of the Axiom of Replacement. The proof makes use of Scott's trick scottex 9882 that collapses a proper class into a set of minimum rank. The wff 𝜑 can be thought of as 𝜑(𝑥, 𝑦). Scheme "Collection Principle" of [Jech] p. 72. (Contributed by NM, 17-Oct-2003.)
⊢ ∃𝑤∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 (∃𝑦𝜑 → ∃𝑦 ∈ 𝑤 𝜑)
Theorem	bnd 9889*	A very strong generalization of the Axiom of Replacement (compare zfrep6 7943), derived from the Collection Principle cp 9888. Its strength lies in the rather profound fact that 𝜑(𝑥, 𝑦) does not have to be a "function-like" wff, as it does in the standard Axiom of Replacement. This theorem is sometimes called the Boundedness Axiom. (Contributed by NM, 17-Oct-2004.)
⊢ (∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 ∃𝑦𝜑 → ∃𝑤∀𝑥 ∈ 𝑧 ∃𝑦 ∈ 𝑤 𝜑)
Theorem	bnd2 9890*	A variant of the Boundedness Axiom bnd 9889 that picks a subset 𝑧 out of a possibly proper class 𝐵 in which a property is true. (Contributed by NM, 4-Feb-2004.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    ⇒   ⊢ (∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∃𝑦 ∈ 𝐵 𝜑 → ∃𝑧(𝑧 ⊆ 𝐵 ∧ ∀𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∃𝑦 ∈ 𝑧 𝜑))
Theorem	kardex 9891*	The collection of all sets equinumerous to a set 𝐴 and having the least possible rank is a set. This is the part of the justification of the definition of kard of [Enderton] p. 222. (Contributed by NM, 14-Dec-2003.)
⊢ {𝑥 ∣ (𝑥 ≈ 𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑦(𝑦 ≈ 𝐴 → (rank‘𝑥) ⊆ (rank‘𝑦)))} ∈ V
Theorem	karden 9892*	If we allow the Axiom of Regularity, we can avoid the Axiom of Choice by defining the cardinal number of a set as the set of all sets equinumerous to it and having the least possible rank. This theorem proves the equinumerosity relationship for this definition (compare carden 10548). The hypotheses correspond to the definition of kard of [Enderton] p. 222 (which we don't define separately since currently we do not use it elsewhere). This theorem along with kardex 9891 justify the definition of kard. The restriction to the least rank prevents the proper class that would result from {𝑥 ∣ 𝑥 ≈ 𝐴}. (Contributed by NM, 18-Dec-2003.) (Revised by AV, 12-Jul-2022.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐶 = {𝑥 ∣ (𝑥 ≈ 𝐴 ∧ ∀𝑦(𝑦 ≈ 𝐴 → (rank‘𝑥) ⊆ (rank‘𝑦)))}    &   ⊢ 𝐷 = {𝑥 ∣ (𝑥 ≈ 𝐵 ∧ ∀𝑦(𝑦 ≈ 𝐵 → (rank‘𝑥) ⊆ (rank‘𝑦)))}    ⇒   ⊢ (𝐶 = 𝐷 ↔ 𝐴 ≈ 𝐵)
Theorem	htalem 9893*	Lemma for defining an emulation of Hilbert's epsilon. Hilbert's epsilon is described at http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/epsilon-calculus/. This theorem is equivalent to Hilbert's "transfinite axiom", described on that page, with the additional 𝑅 We 𝐴 antecedent. The element 𝐵 is the epsilon that the theorem emulates. (Contributed by NM, 11-Mar-2004.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 25-Jun-2015.)
⊢ 𝐴 ∈ V    &   ⊢ 𝐵 = (℩𝑥 ∈ 𝐴 ∀𝑦 ∈ 𝐴 ¬ 𝑦𝑅𝑥)    ⇒   ⊢ ((𝑅 We 𝐴 ∧ 𝐴 ≠ ∅) → 𝐵 ∈ 𝐴)
Theorem	hta 9894*	A ZFC emulation of Hilbert's transfinite axiom. The set 𝐵 has the properties of Hilbert's epsilon, except that it also depends on a well-ordering 𝑅. This theorem arose from discussions with Raph Levien on 5-Mar-2004 about translating the HOL proof language, which uses Hilbert's epsilon. See https://us.metamath.org/downloads/choice.txt (copy of obsolete link http://ghilbert.org/choice.txt) and https://us.metamath.org/downloads/megillaward2005he.pdf. Hilbert's epsilon is described at http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/epsilon-calculus/. This theorem differs from Hilbert's transfinite axiom described on that page in that it requires 𝑅 We 𝐴 as an antecedent. Class 𝐴 collects the sets of the least rank for which 𝜑(𝑥) is true. Class 𝐵, which emulates Hilbert's epsilon, is the minimum element in a well-ordering 𝑅 on 𝐴. If a well-ordering 𝑅 on 𝐴 can be expressed in a closed form, as might be the case if we are working with say natural numbers, we can eliminate the antecedent with modus ponens, giving us the exact equivalent of Hilbert's transfinite axiom. Otherwise, we replace 𝑅 with a dummy setvar variable, say 𝑤, and attach 𝑤 We 𝐴 as an antecedent in each step of the ZFC version of the HOL proof until the epsilon is eliminated. At that point, 𝐵 (which will have 𝑤 as a free variable) will no longer be present, and we can eliminate 𝑤 We 𝐴 by applying exlimiv 1933 and weth 10492, using scottexs 9884 to establish the existence of 𝐴. For a version of this theorem scheme using class (meta)variables instead of wff (meta)variables, see htalem 9893. (Contributed by NM, 11-Mar-2004.) (Revised by Mario Carneiro, 25-Jun-2015.)
⊢ 𝐴 = {𝑥 ∣ (𝜑 ∧ ∀𝑦([𝑦 / 𝑥]𝜑 → (rank‘𝑥) ⊆ (rank‘𝑦)))}    &   ⊢ 𝐵 = (℩𝑧 ∈ 𝐴 ∀𝑤 ∈ 𝐴 ¬ 𝑤𝑅𝑧)    ⇒   ⊢ (𝑅 We 𝐴 → (𝜑 → [𝐵 / 𝑥]𝜑))
