Theorem tr0elw 36654

Description: Every nonempty transitive set contains the empty set ∅ as an element, a consequence of Regularity. If we assume Transitive Containment, then we can omit the 𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 hypothesis, see tr0el 36655. (Contributed by Matthew House, 6-Apr-2026.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
tr0elw	⊢ ((𝐴 ∈ 𝑉 ∧ 𝐴 ≠ ∅ ∧ Tr 𝐴) → ∅ ∈ 𝐴)

Proof of Theorem tr0elw

Dummy variable 𝑥 is distinct from all other variables.
