Definition df-nfc

Description: Define the not-free predicate for classes. This is read " x is not free in A ". Not-free means that the value of x cannot affect the value of A , e.g., any occurrence of x in A is effectively bound by a "for all" or something that expands to one (such as "there exists"). It is defined in terms of the not-free predicate df-nf for wffs; see that definition for more information. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 11-Aug-2016)
