Definition df-pw 3724
Description: Define power class. Definition 5.10 of [TakeutiZaring] p. 17, but we also let it apply to proper classes, i.e. those that are not members of V. When applied to a set, this produces its power set. A power set of S is the set of all subsets of S, including the empty set and S itself. For example, if A = { 3 , 5 , 7 }, then A = {, { 3 }, { 5 }, { 7 }, { 3 , 5 }, { 3 , 7 }, { 5 , 7 }, { 3 , 5 , 7 }} (ex-pw in set.mm). We will later introduce the Axiom of Power Sets ax-pow in set.mm, which can be expressed in class notation per pwexg 4328. Still later we will prove, in hashpw in set.mm, that the size of the power set of a finite set is 2 raised to the power of the size of the set. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.)
