Description: A Moore collection is a set. Therefore, the class Moore_ of all Moore sets defined in df-bj-moore is actually the class of all Moore collections. This is also illustrated by the lack of sethood condition in bj-ismoore .
Note that the closed sets of a topology form a Moore collection, so a topology is a set, and this remark also applies to many other families of sets (namely, as soon as the whole set is required to be a set of the family, then the associated kind of family has no proper classes: that this condition suffices to impose sethood can be seen in this proof, which relies crucially on uniexr ).
Note: if, in the above predicate, we substitute ~P X for A , then the last e. ~P X could be weakened to C_ X , and then the predicate would be obviously satisfied since |- U. ~P X = X ( unipw ), making ~P X a Moore collection in this weaker sense, for any class X , even proper, but the addition of this single case does not add anything interesting. Instead, we have the biconditional bj-discrmoore . (Contributed by BJ, 8-Dec-2021)
