Description: The Fundamental Theorem of Enumeration (see https://sites.math.rutgers.edu/~zeilberg/mamarim/mamarimPDF/enu.pdf ), extended to all sets.
The expression U_ x e. A ( { x } X. B ) can be thought of as expressing an indexed disjoint union |_| x e. A B where each B has its elements tagged with the set x that generated it. See the comment directly before undjudom for context on disjoint union as a representation of cardinal addition.
This theorem is not limited to numerable sets, but it also does not depend on AC. See 1enumcard for a version that uses the cardinality function, and see 1enum for a version that uses an explicit sum of complex number 1s.
