Definition df-member

Description: Define the membership equivalence relation on the class A (or, the restricted elementhood equivalence relation on its domain quotient A .) Alternate definitions are dfmember2 and dfmember3 .

Later on, in an application of set theory I make a distinction between the default elementhood concept and a special membership concept: membership equivalence relation will be an integral part of that membership concept.
