Theorem curryset

Description: Curry's paradox in set theory. This can be seen as a generalization of Russell's paradox, which corresponds to the case where ph is F. . See alternate exposal of basically the same proof currysetALT . (Contributed by BJ, 23-Sep-2023) This proof is intuitionistically valid. (Proof modification is discouraged.)
