Theorem wl-ax12v2cl 37445

Description: The class version of ax12v2 2178, where the set variable 𝑦 is replaced with the class variable 𝐴. This is possible if 𝐴 is known to be a set, expressed by the antecedent.

Theorem ax12v 2177 is a specialization of ax12v2 2178. So any proof using ax12v 2177 will still hold if ax12v2 2178 is used instead.

Theorem ax12v2 2178 expresses that two equal set variables cannot be distinguished by whatever complicated formula 𝜑 if one is replaced with the other in it. This theorem states a similar result for a class variable known to be a set: All sets equal to the class variable behave the same if they replace the class variable in 𝜑.

Most axioms in FOL containing an equation correspond to a theorem where a class variable known to be a set replaces a set variable in the formula. Some exceptions cannot be avoided: The set variable must nowhere be bound. And it is not possible to state a distinct variable condition where a class 𝐴 is different from another, or distinct from a variable with type wff. So ax-12 2176 proper is out of reach: you cannot replace 𝑦 in ∀𝑦𝜑 with a class variable.

But where such limitations are not violated, the proof of the FOL theorem should carry over to a version where a class variable, known to be set, appears instead of a set variable. (Contributed by Wolf Lammen, 8-Aug-2020.)
